SSB030F - Multi Supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of PEPPOL networking and eInvoicing Systems and Services to the Irish Public Sector
The European Parliament and Council voted on the 16 April 2014 to adopt the Directive 2014/55/EU on electronic invoicing in public procurement with the goal of facilitating the use of a European standard on electronic invoicing across Member States.
As part of Irish eInvoicing strategy, on 18 January 2018, the Minister of State Patrick O’Donovan T.D. signed Ireland up as a PEPPOL Authority member of OpenPEPPOL, which coordinates the PEPPOL eDelivery network for eProcurement and eInvoicing.
The OGP will operate the PEPPOL Authority function on behalf of the Government, and within this context, the OGP seeks to establish a framework with service provider(s) that are in a position to provide a range of electronic invoicing services to public bodies seeking to meet their obligations as required by the Directive.
