Digital procurement

Public procurement is undergoing a digital transformation. The EU supports the process of rethinking public procurement process with digital technologies in mind.

The Public Procurement Data Space (PPDS)
The Public Procurement Data Space (PPDS) will connect European databases, including TED data on public procurement, and national procurement data sets available in national portals.
Tenders Electronic Daily
Online portal publishing thousands of public procurement notices from the EU, the European Economic Area, and beyond.
eInvoicing
European Standard for eInvoicing, its evolution, facilitating exchanges between businesses and public administrations, how it works at EU and national level, and the benefits.
eForms
Standard forms used by public buyers to publish procurement notices on Tenders Electronic Daily (TED).
Expert groups
Expert groups focused on the implementation of EU rules related to digital procurement, sharing good practice, and discussing future policy.

Digital transformation goes beyond simply moving to electronic tools; it rethinks various pre-award and post-award phases. The aim is to make them simpler for businesses to participate in and for the public sector to manage. It also allows for the integration of data-based approaches at various stages of the procurement process.
