### Non-Registered <a href="#nonregistered" id="nonregistered"></a>

Non-registered suppliers are suppliers that were either recommended by Fairmarkit or manually entered by a user in your organization.

### Public <a href="#public" id="public"></a>

Public suppliers are suppliers that have responded to your event from a marketplace, (e.g., [Fairmarkit Marketplace](/buyers/marketplace-buyers.md)). From the marketplaces, all suppliers are free to submit responses to an event.
