This is a Prior Information Notice (PIN) and not a call for competition – a call for competition may be placed within the next 12 months. The Office of Government Procurement (OGP) may initiate several procurements over the next 12 months for the provision of Pan European Public Procurement On-Line (PEPPOL) networking and eInvoicing Systems and Services to the Irish Public Sector. Details of individual procurements pursuant to this notice will be advertised in due course. This framework will be for all Public Sector Bodies to procure services that will facilitate compliance with the European Directive 2014/55/EU on electronic invoicing in public procurement. The Directive (2014/55/EU) obliges all Public Sector Bodies to receive and process electronic invoices (eInvoices) that comply with the European Standard for eInvoicing as referenced in the Directive. Ireland is adopting PEPPOL as the network standard for transmitting the eInvoices to the Public Sector. The solutions and services provided by the Members of the Framework should enable Framework clients to comply with the Directive and align with the National eInvoicing implementation approach as set out by the OGP's eInvoicing Programme (see OGP.GOV.IE). The Office of Government Procurement does not require a response to this Prior Information Notice. Please note the OGP will issue a Request for Market Information in the coming months.
