ESPD (European Single Procurement Document) and Standard Questionnaires have been introduced to reduce the time required to compete for public sector contracts. It largely replaces the PQQ (pre-qualification questionnaire) that many bidders found time-consuming and acted as a further hurdle for SME bidders.
