Award criteria are the factors a contracting authority uses to score bids and decide the winner, such as price, quality, technical merit, and delivery. They are published in the tender documents, usually with weightings.

Call-off Contract

A call-off contract is an individual order placed under an existing framework agreement or dynamic purchasing system. The overarching agreement sets who may supply and on what terms; the call-off is the actual, binding contract for a specific piece of work.

Contract Award Notice

A contract award notice is published after a procurement concludes and records the outcome: which supplier won, the value awarded, and when the contract runs. It closes the competition and makes the result part of the public record.

Contract Notice

A contract notice is the formal advertisement that opens a public procurement. It announces that a buyer intends to award a contract, summarises what is being bought, and states how and by when suppliers must respond. Publication of the notice is what starts the competition.

Contracting Authority

A contracting authority is the public body that runs a procurement and awards the contract, for example a government department, local council, hospital, or state-owned entity. It defines the requirements, publishes the tender, and evaluates bids.

CPV Code

A CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) code is a standardised numeric code that classifies what a public tender is buying. Contracting authorities across the EU use the same codes, so searching by CPV finds relevant tenders regardless of language or wording.

Dynamic Purchasing System

A dynamic purchasing system (DPS) is a fully electronic procurement arrangement that any qualifying supplier can join at any time during its life. Buyers run competitions among the admitted suppliers whenever they have a specific requirement.

E-Procurement

E-procurement is the use of electronic systems to run public purchasing, from publishing notices and distributing documents to receiving and evaluating bids online. It is now the standard way public bodies conduct procurement.

ESPD

The ESPD (European Single Procurement Document) is a standardised self-declaration form that suppliers submit to confirm they meet a tender's eligibility and selection criteria. It lets bidders declare compliance up front instead of providing all supporting evidence at bid time.

Framework Agreement

A framework agreement is a contract between one or more buyers and one or more suppliers that sets the terms for future purchases over a set period. Rather than awarding a single job, it establishes who may supply and on what terms, with specific orders ('call-offs') placed later.

Open Procedure

An open procedure is a procurement process in which any interested supplier may submit a full bid in response to the published notice. There is no pre-selection stage: evaluation is done on the tenders received.

Procurement Threshold

A procurement threshold is a contract value level that determines which set of rules a public purchase must follow. Contracts estimated above the relevant threshold are advertised more widely and run under stricter, more formal procedures; contracts below it follow lighter national or internal rules.

Public Procurement

Public procurement is the process by which government bodies and other publicly funded organisations buy goods, services, and works from external suppliers. Because it spends public money, it is governed by rules requiring open advertising, equal treatment of bidders, and transparent award decisions.

Restricted Procedure

A restricted procedure is a two-stage process: suppliers first apply to be shortlisted based on selection criteria, and only those invited may submit a full tender. It limits the number of bidders the authority evaluates in detail.

TED

TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) is the EU's official online journal for public procurement notices. It publishes higher-value tenders from across member states in a single place, making it the primary source for large, cross-border contract opportunities.

Tender

A tender is a formal, competitive invitation from a buyer asking suppliers to submit priced offers for a defined piece of work, and also the offer a supplier submits in response. In public procurement, tenders are advertised openly so that any qualifying supplier can compete on equal terms.
