Overview
Pan-European Public Procurement Online (PEPPOL) aims to implement common standards enabling EU-wide public e-Procurement. As an open standardized platform, PEPPOL's infrastructure has been designed to interconnect existing networks and bridge individual e-Business islands in Europe. PEPPOL increases business opportunities for participants and supports interoperability across borders. It facilitates electronic communication among European companies and government institutions in the pre-award and post-award procurement process.
