PEPPOL opens up a new dimension in public eProcurement with extended market connectivity and EU-wide interoperability, facilitating seamless electronic communication across borders.

PEPPOL’s transport infrastructure interconnects eProcurement systems across the EU through common and nationally compatible standards.

Access to the PEPPOL infrastructure takes place through Access Points currently provided by government authorities and private companies. Using common standards, these Access Points ensure legal, organisational and technical interoperability. Best practice content standards, common processes and an open exchange platform for electronic document transport across Europe are the foundation for standardised software solutions.

PEPPOL efficiently interconnects existing eProcurement communities, thus enabling the private sector to bid for public sector contracts anywhere in the EU.
