    • v4 presentation – online.

    • ESPD Demo with interactive examples.

    • GitHub status – closed tickets.

2. Simplified visualisation in Enterprise Architect

  • ESPD-EDM modelled in Enterprise Architect was presented:

    • Alignment of ESPD-EDM with eCertis UUIDs and eForms code lists.

    • Tools: Generate boilerplate for ESPD Service implementers.

  • The team has responded to the question of whether the Enterprise Architect file can be accessed: yes, .eapx is available at GitHub.

  • For ESPD-EDM espd-tools branch now is available:

    • The export of EA structure into JSON format.

    • JSON schema for ESPD-EDM.

  • ESPD Demo is improved with:

    • Integrated SurveyJS for ESPD online form.

    • Integrated PDFMake to generate PDF documents.

3. GitHub status

  • There are 15 closed issued from the last meeting:

    • Closed issues from the backlog, cleaned up in October 2024.

    • Issues transferred to ePO (#413) and eCertis (#367, #356, #336) colleagues. More details in the next section from eCertis team.

    • Two issues related to the future release: #423 ([Other]: Mapping the SubContractor to the Tenderer) and #386 (Can the evidence group or subgroup be dropped to follow the ESPD regulation?). Both of them were resolved and implemented in new release model (EA).

  • There are 2 open issues:

    • #424 ([Question]: Where could we find translations for SUBCRITERIONs descriptions) and #422 (Purely national Exclusion Ground - dynamic structure)

    • Discussion is ongoing and probably we will have a new bilateral meeting with colleagues from Slovenia.

4. eCertis Work Ongoing

    • UUID Management: Improved UUID handling for record updates and lifecycle that will resolve reported issues.

    • New Criteria: Merging criteria for service contracts requiring authorisation or membership of particular organisations.
