*The ESPD is a self-declaration form used in public procurement procedures. Before the introduction of the ESPD, companies had to submit various documents proving that they can participate in a procurement procedure. Under the ESPD, the companies are able to meet these obligations with a single self declaration form (the ESPD). Only the winner of the tender needs to provide the documents.
