Users of the Supplier Portal have the option of saving an ESPD profile under their profile to shorten the time spent in responding to calls for tenders that exceed the EU thresholds, as part of the mandatory ESPD information can then be automatically populated to the tender. The EPSD profile answers can be saved as defaults for ‘Part II: Information concerning the economic operator’ and ‘Part III: Exclusion grounds’. The answers saved in the ESPD profile will be automatically copied to a new tender prepared by the tendered in the Supplier Portal.
All answers cannot be maintained via the ESPD profile, because the questions used in ‘Part IV: Selection criteria’ and ‘Part V: Reduction of the number of qualified candidates’ vary project by project.
NOTE! The ESPD profile is company-specific, meaning that if any user registered in the same company changes the information in the ESPD profile, the information will also be updated to other users on the ‘ESPD Profile’ tab.
