E-CERTIS
e-CERTIS is a free, on-line source of information to help companies and contracting authorities to cope with the different forms of documentary evidence required for cross-border tenders for public contracts in the European Union. The EU seeks through its procurement regulations to promote the free movement of goods and services across internal borders and recognizes that the variety of certification systems and evidence requirements across the 27 Member States, one Candidate Country (Turkey) and the three European Economic Area (EEA) countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) can create unnecessary complication and uncertainty, reducing the attractiveness to businesses of bidding for contracts to supply goods and services to public authorities in a different member state.
