The membership function of a general type-2 fuzzy set is three-dimensional in order to incorporate its vagueness through the third dimension. Similarly, Circular intuitionistic fuzzy sets (CIFSs) have been recently introduced by Atanassov (2020) as a new extension of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which are represented by a circle representing the vagueness of the membership function. CIFSs allow decision-makers to express their judgments including this vagueness. In this study, the TOPSIS method, which is one of the most used multi-criteria decision-making methods is extended to its CIF version. The proposed CIF-TOPSIS methodology is applied to the supplier selection problem. Then, a sensitivity analysis based on criteria weights is conducted to check the robustness of the proposed approach. A comparative analysis with single-valued intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method is also performed to verify the developed approach and to demonstrate its effectiveness

<p class="ADYNAAbstrac"><span lang="EN-US">The supplier selection is a critical activity within the administration of the supply chain. It is considered a complex problem given that it involves different aspects such as the alternatives to evaluate, the multiple criteria involved as well as the group of decision makers with different opinions. In this sense, the literature reports several methods to help in this difficult activity of selecting the best supplier. However, there are still some gaps in these methods; therefore, it is imperative to further develop research. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to report a hybrid method between MOORA and intuitionistic fuzzy sets for the selection of suppliers with a focus on multi-criteria and multi-group environment. The importance of decision makers, criteria and alternatives are evaluated in terms of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Then, MOORA is used in order to determine the best supplier. An experimental case is developed in order to explain the proposed method in detail and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.</span></p>
