When a vendor is invited to submit their COI through Jones, they do so via the Jones vendor COI upload portal. On the portal, they are able to fill out basic information about their business, read through the relevant insurance requirements, and upload their COIs. This short guide will walk you through what that process looks like for your vendor.

If a contract is required, it will show up at this step. The vendor can review the contract and sign it right on the platform. If they are not able to sign the contract immediately, they can click the continue button on the bottom of the page to skip this step.

<aside> ❗ If a vendor chooses to skip the contract step and go straight to uploading their COI, their upload link will expire. In order to sign the contract, they will have to wait till the building compliance manager confirms the coverage gap and sends a new requests.
