up procurement thinking and is delivering tangible economic development benefits to the supplier community who use it. Building upon their involvement in the creation of the NPP, Value Wales are now also running a significant pan Wales eProcurement programme, XchangeWales (www.xchangewales.co.uk) that provides a framework of 'free to use' tools. The tools available are designed to help public sector procurement organisations begin to fully embrace eProcurement. The NPP forms the key 'first step' of this programme, and is seen as an 'e-Information' stepping stone to more transactional services such as e- Tendering, eProcurement etc. 3.4 Virtual Company Dossier – Josef Makolm (PEPPOL) Josef Makolm introduces the VCD (Virtual Company Dossier) as one of the eight work packages of the EU-project PEPPOL 1 ; which aims to set up a pan-European pilot solution that, conjointly with existing national solutions, facilitates EU-wide interoperable public eProcurement. The vision is that any company in the EU can communicate electronically with an European governmental institution for the entire procurement process. The VCD will thereby support the economic operator in creating an electronic information package consisting of the required documentation, evidences, proof, attestations, certificates, declarations and metadata. Thus the VCD can be seen as a container for required documents. The Austrian VCD implementation project will provide an IT-system, which not only supports the economic operator in deciding which certificates and data he has to provide when answering an Austrian call for tender or a call for tender of another EU member state but is also assembling the VCD package automatically. The VCD system will be able to select and call the (IT-)services providing the needed data, efficiently orchestrate the necessary processes, collect the results and pack it into a VCD package following an internationally agreed upon semantic schema. The core component of the Austrian VCD implementation is the osSso Machine, which is based on the idea of a semantically enriched service oriented architecture, shortly SSOA. This osSso machine operates on top of an ontology which describes all national and international legal rule sets. Furthermore all services provide a semantical description in terms of the legal ontology about their needed input data and their expected output data. Tasks of the osSso machine are to determine the matching criteria and missing evidences, to discover suitable services, and finally to create the service chains which are to be executed by the VCD execution engine. The osSso approach thus avoids in advance defined process rules and execution processes. Each tenderers specifically needed evidences are determined “on-the-fly” and the best service chain, e.g. concerning costs or time, is provided. This makes the osSso approach flexible with respect to legal rule changes or the introduction of new services, i.e. it suffices adapting the ontology or simply provide a new service. 1 PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is part of the Competitive and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) of the European Union.

3.5 eCatalogue in pre-awarding phase – Stefan Krammer (PEPPOL) The next PEPPOL speaker was Stefan Krammer with the PEPPOL eCatalogue – Electronic Catalogue in European Public Procurement: Traditionally electronic catalogues play a central role in ordering, but for the future they will be used also in the pre-awarding phases, therewith closing the gap in electronic procurement procedures. Mr. Krammer observed that while in the pre-awarding phases the use of ecatalogues is more seller-centric, in the post-awarding ones their use is more buyer-centric. The resulting benefit of extending the adoption of electronic catalogue to the pre award phases is that data only need to be entered once and reused in a consistent way all over the whole procurement process. The PEPPOL eCatalogue workpackage is now working on a deliverable containing the design of the architecture and its components that will be ready on April 2010. Mr. Krammer mentioned the eClass standard that will be adopted within PEPPOL to reduce the complexity of items description.
