PEPPOL: making procurement better

PEPPOL at a glance

PEPPOL enables seamless cross-border eProcurement, connecting communities through standards-based solutions.

Project Partners

Working together with the European Commission, 11 European countries have established a consortium of 18 project partners to drive ahead PEPPOL.

Pan-European eProcurement will be as easy as sending emails. From eTendering to eInvoicing, PEPPOL facilitates the pre-award and post-award procurement process with standardised components and by focussing on the more complex eProcurement elements.

Results

PEPPOL has developed standards-based components and tools to support pilot organisations.

The results of the project can be found in the EIA repository (for pilot users) and in the EC deliverables list (for internal use).
