By standardising the pre-qualification process, suppliers registered on UVDB benefit from a significant reduction in the time and effort associated with completing pre-qualification documents. Through the completion of the single online UVDB questionnaire suppliers can pre-qualify for work with over 50 utility companies and their partners.
The UVDB helps Utilities to comply with EU Procurement Legislation by providing a fair, open and transparent means of selecting suppliers for potential tender opportunities. The Utilities announce their intentions to source through the UVDB in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) on a regular basis.
UVDBstandard
By providing the information requested in the UVDB online questionnaire suppliers will have met the pre-qualification needs of over 50 Utilities. These Utilities use the UVDB to source suppliers and do not need to issue as many of their own questionnaires. There are over 2500 individuals who regularly use the UVDB to create both long and short lists of suppliers and contractors.
