05.05.2025 | Oversight and accountability

From May 1, 2025, the EU OJ will stop publishing notices created in SDK version 1.8. Contracting authorities must switch to the new templates approved by the PPA to ensure the publication of their notices after April 30, 2025.

From May 1, 2025, the Publication Office of the Official Journal of the European Union will stop accepting notices generated with SDK version 1.8. For more information, visit https://docs.ted.europa.eu/eforms-common/active-versions/index.html.

Consequently, with order RD-95/31.12.2024, the executive director of the PPA approved the new templates for awarding public procurement contracts under national rules using the CAIS EOP. The order allows for documents created in the old format to be submitted for publication until April 30, 2025. After this date, all unpublished notices created before December 31, 2024 with SDK 1.8 must be regenerated with the new templates and resubmitted for publication.
