SDK 1.12.0 Release Notes

Maven Central

This release of the SDK does not contain any backwards incompatible changes: software that was able to use version 1.11.0 should also be able to use this version.

Additional information

This version introduces business entities, which group fields into business concepts, and allow implementing features that were previously not practical to implement. A new section in field.json, named businessEntities, gives information on each business entity. References to business entities have been added for fields and nodes, and also in notice type definitions.
More information will be available soon in the online documentation at https://docs.ted.europa.eu.

Updated metadata content

Schema, nodes, fields and notice type definitions

Schemas

The schemas has been updated to include the information for the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), and deal with the new Exclusion & Selection Criteria approach as defined in the Regulation Annex.

Fields

  • Updated Exclusion & Selection Criteria with the definition of new fields and nodes for BT-806, BT-821, BT-809, and the deletion of fields for BT-747, BT-748, BT-749.
  • Defined fields and nodes for FSR.
  • Defined field for the attribute listName of BT-23-Lot.
  • Fixed preset_value for Kilometers Public Transport Unit in T02 Notice Subtype (OPP-080-Tender-Unit).
  • Reviewed rules and nodes definitions for non-electronic submission (BT-19, BT-745).
  • Updated type for field BT-821-Lot-List.

Notice type definitions

  • The exclusion grounds fields have been updated. "Exclusion Grounds Source" (BT-806-Procedure) has been added in a group above the already existing one.
  • The selection criteria fields have also been adapted. BT-747-Lot, BT-748-Lot and BT-749-Lot have been replaced by "Selection Criterion" (BT-809-Lot) as a combobox. Another group has been added above the Selection Criteria to identify ths source using field BT-821-Lot.
  • The Foreign Subsidies Regulation fields BT-681-Lot and BT-682-Tender have been added in the Lot / Tendering Terms section and the Result / Tenders section.
  • The CVD fields in the lot result were reordered to make them more user friendly. The vehicle category is now chosen first, followed by the number and type of vehicle.
  • The Fields related to the CVD in the lot were added to the contract modification notice types.
  • The structure of the "planned duration" group in the PIN-only parts has been aligned with the one in the lots.
  • The node for the "Procedure Place of performance" was corrected to ND-ProcedurePlacePerformance for all concerned subtypes.
  • The node ND-ProcedureProcurementScope has been added to all the subtypes where it was missing (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16, CEI, T01, T02), to facilitate the identification of rules related to the fields (issue #870).
  • The field OPP-080-Tender-Unit was added as hidden in T02, with the preset value 'KTM', to help make the XML valid against the schema.
  • The "selection criteria second stage invitation" indicator (BT-40) and the related weight and number fields have been removed for subtypes 15, 19, and CEI.
  • The cross border law fields have been removed from T01 and T02 together with their display group and the "Procedure Tendering Terms" section.
  • The subcontracting fields in the "Tender" section of the result have been reordered to make them easier to fill-in. The indicator for subcontracting is now the first field, followed by the description.
  • The field OPP-090-Procedure was added to T01 subtype for the identification of previous notices.
  • ND-AuctionTerms has been added to GR-Lot-AuctionTerms so that error messages can point to this specific group.

Rules

  • Updated rules for Exclusion & Selection Criteria.
  • Updated OPT-301-Tenderer-MainCont condition to depend on Subcontractor existence instead.
  • Updated expression for rule BR-BT-13713-0102 to include control of existence of information on tenders received from medium sized enterprises.
  • Updated conditions & contexts for rules on BT-541 to trigger in absence of extensions and prevent BT-541 when BT-543 specified.

  • Defined rules for FSR.

  • Updated rules that still referred to "eforms-xxx" lists.
  • Postcodes now allowed for any country and mandatory for countries in the postcode-country codelist.

Codelists

  • Defined new codelists (document-used-in-public-procurement, selection-criteria-source, exclusion-grounds-source) and updated existing ones (exclusion-ground, selection-criterion).
  • Defined new codelists (fsr, foreign-subsidy-measure-conclusion) for Foreign Subsidies Regulation.
  • Removed redundant tailored codelists that are the same as their parent codelist (eforms-xxx and period-listname).
