Codelists Overview

Code lists used in ESPD

Some code lists used in ESPD were modified to align with those of the eForms.

In some cases, code lists were removed from ESPD as the information is retrieved from eForms.

For more details on changes in the code lists, consult the Release Notes.

In ESPD documents, codes can be used in different contexts e.g.,

  1. Outside the criteria, in UBL components of type "Code Type";

  2. Inside the definition of a Criterion, in the ESPD Request, for the element Expected Code (cac:TenderingCriterion/​cac:TenderingCriterionPropertyGroup/​cac:TenderingCriterionProperty/​cbc:ExpectedCode, it is in this element that the ESPD Request defines which code list to use); and

  3. Inside the Response Value (cac:TenderingCriterionResponse/​cac:ResponseValue/​cbc:ResponseCode), where the Economic Operator has to supply a valid code picked from the list specified in the ESPD Request, in the element cbc:ExpectedCode.

Additional information about the code lists can be found in:

  • The code list catalogue in this documentation;

  • The multilingual Genericode *.gc files automatically produced based on these spread-sheets; and?

The table below lists the code lists used in the ESPD documents and the locations where they are used.
