Business Interoperability Interfaces for Public Procurement in Europe - E-Notification - Part 105: Profile BII61 Communication between Notice Publishers CWA 17026-105:2016

Scope

The profile BII61 Communication between notice publisher describes a process providing electronic messaging support for forwarding a notice from one publisher to another. The aim is that contracting bodies may have only one entry point for submitting notices for publication and that published notices can be exchanged between publishers for wider geographical and/or audience exposure, which in turn should create a greater number of interested economic operators. The key aspects covered by this profile are: - A publisher can use this profile to forward a notice that has been prepared for publication at a higher level, before publishing the notice himself so as to respect any legal obligations on order of publication.
- A publisher can use this profile to forward a published notice for republication on another platform. - If the receiving publisher receives a request for publication of a prepared notice, (a notice that has not yet been published) he must analyse the metadata to see if he can publish directly or whether he should forward/or send the notice directly to a publisher at a high level. For example the metadata on the estimated value of the contract to see if the notice is above or below the threshold of any legal obligation. This profile describes the process and the information structures for such forwarding. This profile is identified in the transactions by the ProfileID
