eForms support

Different eForms versions are currently supported and processed according to the following example. In future, both subthreshold and above-threshold notices will be accepted by the Vermittlungsdienst exclusively in eForms DE format.


Overview of existing eForms-DE versions and the associated technical artifacts and tools:

Outside the eForms Implementing Regulation, on which the eForms-DE standard is based, the forms T01 ("Prior information notice on public passenger transport services") and T02 ("Contract award notice for public passenger transport services") have been defined by the Publications Office of the EU__ for the implementation of __Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, which are accepted by the European publication platform TED.

Forms T01 and T02 are also supported by the Public Procurement Data Service, so that they can be submitted here (for forwarding to TED and the publication service) automatically by procurement platforms on the basis of the SDK-EU or manually via the free-to-use editorial system.

eForms validation

All notices are validated when they are sent to the Vermittlungsdienst before they are accepted by the system. Validation is carried out using a combination of XML schema validation and Schematron validation. As a result, a validation report is returned in JSON format.

One option for offline validation, as performed by the Vermittlungsdienst, is the open source validator: https://projekte.kosit.org/eforms/validator-edition-eforms-de

Validation blacklist

National tailoring results in differences between values permitted in the EU and nationally, for example in code lists and the customizationID: certain EU rules must therefore be skipped in order to validate valid documents according to German tailoring.

The following rules should be ignored:
