Pre-Award Specifications and Guidelines

In this page you will find the Peppol BIS Specifications for the Pre-Award community:

• Below you can find a full list of the current Peppol Business Interoperability Specifications (BIS) for the Pre-Award area.
• The listed Peppol BIS are formally approved by the OpenPeppol Managing Committee and the pre-award community.

The 2021 November release of the Peppol pre-award artefacts (BIS documents and validation artefacts) has been published on 2021-12-17. The release from Peppol includes new profile identifiers and specification identifiers and new scheme identifiers for electronic addresses and parties used in BIS P001 – P005. Corresponding Peppol solutions that implement these BISs should be updated once the release is published. Additionally, the profiles P006 – Search Notices, P007 – Tender Withdrawal, P008 – Publish Notice and P009 – Notify Awarding have been added to the eTendering context. Due to the breaking changes in BIS P001 – P005 the new version number 1.1.0 will be settled for all PrAC Pre-award metadata profiles.

ESPD Joint Position Paper OpenPeppol & EUPLAT

As a first initiative following the cooperation between OpenPeppol and EUPLAT, a joint position paper on ESPD has been produced to affirm the value of establishing interoperable solutions for ESPD implementations in Europe.

Both parties share a common concern for the individual national implementations of the European standards for e-Tendering, hence the position paper, which aims to showcase and emphasize the mature capability of ESPD to represent a best practice for the implementation of standardized procurement messages in the Pre-Award domain.
