Electronic
Invitation to Tender System
Within
the framework of an offer process the electronic EMD
invitation to tender system provides for less
time-consuming and better structured communication
between EMD members, listed suppliers and EMD itself. A
secure, monitored flow of data and streamlined business
processes benefit everyone involved in an invitation to
tender.
Since September 2002 all invitations to tender
will be processed exclusively via EMD NET

For some years now there have also been
B2B auctions through this network which has thus
developed to become a marketplace for large
quantities of goods.
Further important elements of the network
include:
· The
Supplier Information System (SIS):
SIS Supplier Information System
This is
where all information
on the suppliers of EMD are centrally
filed and administrated.
Alongside the
characteristic data this also includes all information
regarding hitherto cooperation with EMD.
·
The Private Label
Information System (PLIS):
PLIS Private
Label Information System
This
database bundles all information on the Eurolabels of EMD
-
from the specifications and suppliers, to
logos
and layouts,
right up to documentation of quality assurance.
All buyers, assistants, directors and
other authorised personnel of all EMD members have
online access to both tools.
EMD also offers its members further services, often as a
complement to their own activities in the respective
country.
This includes EMD exercising its
negotiating strength to achieve improved trading terms
for national supply contracts.
