Virtual Company Dossier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Virtual Company Dossier (VCD) is part of the PEPPOL ( Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine ) project with the aim of supporting cross-border public tenders within the European Union , the relevant tendering bodies and the providers.

overview

The PEPPOL project with the VCD work package was started in 2008 with the participation of project partners from six European countries ( Germany , France , Greece , Italy , Norway and Austria ).

In the context of VCD, providers are to be supported in cross-border procurement procedures in order to be able to correctly transmit the relevant evidence (e.g. for integrity). For several years now, public tenders for large projects have had to be published across Europe, but the number of offers from abroad is currently very low at around 3%.

The central element of the project is the European VCD System (EVS), which manages the general and legal regulations for the mutual recognition of the respective national certificates ( certificates ) in a machine-readable set of rules ( ontology ) and enables the evaluation of the set of rules (via system interfaces) .

aims

One goal is to increase public tenders across national borders (not only to national providers) in order to use the potentially very large market for eProcurement in Europe and to promote competition. 2.288 billion euros are spent annually by public authorities in the EU, with only around 3% currently being awarded to foreign bidders. Small and medium-sized enterprises ([SMEs]) in particular shy away from offers abroad due to the large bureaucratic hurdles, the high costs and the unclear legal situation. The VCD aims to reduce these hurdles.

Results

In addition to the definition of open standards, VCD also creates software components, services and complete applications:

  • Virtual Company Dossier Package (VCD Package, VCD Package ): Specification of the standardized format for the transmission of evidence, certificates and receipts in electronic form.
  • VCD Viewer : System for displaying VCD packages.
  • VCD Designer : System for selecting and deriving evidence ( evidence ) for a tender.
  • VCD Builder : System for creating a VCD package.
  • European VCD System (EVS): System for mapping the legal framework for cross-border tenders and deriving recommendations in specific tenders.
  • Criteria Editor : System for the definition of qualification criteria to be verified for an advertisement (users are advertisers).
  • VCD ontology : Machine-readable set of rules for the mutual recognition of the respective national evidence in cross-border tendering procedures.
  • Ontology Management System (OMS): System for creating and adapting the machine-readable set of rules (VCD ontology).
