Electronic Public Procurement - Pre-Award - Part 1: Choreographies
Abstract
This document provides specifications on business processes for exchanging electronic documents as part of the business processes and procedures in the pre-award area. The activity will firstly describe the objectives of each pre-award building block and thereby describe their underlying requirements. Part of a building block definition will be a description of the actors and roles involved in the respective communication. The choreographies and operational definitions that are developed for the pre-award procedures (e.g. Open Procedure and Restricted Procedure) will be furthermore supported by a Procedural Architecture and Guidelines for Pre-Award Procurement. The additional Procedural Architecture and guidelines will help to assemble pre-award standards to meaningful and lawful process choreographies and to use the pre-award standards to execute open and restricted procedures. Support of other procedures like DPS, electronic auctions, competitive negotiated procedure, competitive dialog is also envisioned. Based on this it will be possible to define a choreography that determines how related data is exchanged in the respective business processes and how it should be handled by the actors involved in the communication. In order to constrain the communication further it will be necessary to define pre- and post conditions to perform this choreography including its variants. The key aspects covered by this choreography specification are intended to capture and describe the essential pre-award phases, processes and transactions that are relevant to execute pre-award procedures.
