Digitization of public procurement through XKatalog

This project focused on the development and piloting of the XKatalog Post-Award to digitalize and simplify the public procurement process. The aim was to create the basis for a uniform catalog standard that would enable more seamless and efficient collaboration between administrative units and suppliers.

Project shortcuts

The development and testing of the XKatalog was realized for our customer Senator für Finanzen Bremen between the University of Koblenz, KoSIT and us and is part of the cooperation project for the standards-based digitalization of the public purchasing and procurement process. The customer is a central financial authority that deals with the optimization and digitalization of administrative processes. In the period from October 2024 to December 2024, we pursued the goal of piloting and testing an interoperable standard for public procurement, the XKatalog. The result was the successful development of a prototype for an ordering system and the piloting and validation of the XKatalog as a new national standard, which brought the client a further step towards the digitalization of procurement processes. This standard is based on the European standard EN17015 EPP Catalgue and the Peppol BIS Catalgue and can therefore also be used internationally.
