e-CERTIS: documents / certificates for international procurement
e-CERTIS provides detailed information on the certificates and documents commonly required in procurement in the various EU countries. It is targeted at national practitioners. It helps economic operators, when preparing a tender, to identify evidentiary documents fulfilling evidence required in a foreign call for tender. It helps awarding authorities, when receiving tenders, to identify and recognise forms submitted by foreign tenderers and to relate contents of partner country forms to local equivalents.
