Service Provider
REQUIREMENT tbr070-011 |
The ESPD request may contain information of identification regarding an ESPD service provider: Name, Party Identification, Endpoint ID. |
Service providers are officially recognised organisations that can supply ESPD Request documents (on behalf of the contracting body) with pre-filled information about the contracting body and additional information (e.g. liability statements, see tbr070-012)
The ESPD allows the provision of data about the service provider who produced the ESPD Request document (and equally for the ESPD Response document, on behalf of the economic operator).
Since the 2.1.1 does not include the cac:ServiceProvider as a 'document root component'. Instead, it uses the UBL-2.3 cac:ContractingParty/cac:Party associated class cac:ServiceProviderParty.
XSD Schema
Figure 22. cac:ServiceProvider XSD Schema
Notice that:
-
The cac:Party class aggregates the class cac:ServiceProviderParty; and
-
The cac:ServiceProviderParty class 'is a' Party. Hence it aggregates a cac:Party class too, and uses it to place the main data about the service provider (like name, address, end-point, etc.).
