Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The introduction of the module will aid EA to comply with its legal requirements as detailed below: - To align with the EU directive 'Electronic Invoice Directive 2014/55/EU'. This directive mandates that all public administrations in Europe must be capable of receiving and processing B2G (Business to Government) invoices in electronic format from their suppliers. - In May 2019, the UK government implemented the EU directive on e-Invoicing for public procurement via The Public Procurement (Electronic Invoices, etc.) Regulations 2019. Now, anyone involved in public tender procedures must receive and process suppliers' invoices that follow an e-Invoicing standard established under the Directive - The Procurement Act 2034 (section68(2)) requires that 100% undisputed invoices are paid within 30 days. EA currently has a Prompt Payment target to pay invoices within 30 days, and achievement of this is dependent on having an efficient way of processing invoices. The e-Invoicing module will aid in the efficient processing of invoices.
