If the qualification request has to be rejected, a rejection response is obligatory. In therms of sending a positive response to the qualification, the qualification response is optional and could be replaced by directly sending out the invitation to tender. Good communication practice should favour a positive response to those qualification requests that are not directly followed by an invitation to tender. The qualification response is intended for use by businesses and purchasing authorities in procedures where access to participation is restricted to qualified economic operators. The key aspects covered by this BIS are:
 
-    * Pre-condition: An economic operator has submitted its qualification documents to a contracting authority as specified in the Call for Tender documents using PEPPOL BIS {P011}. The contracting authority evaluates the qualification information and needs to report its decision, positive or negative, to the economic operator.
-    * Optional: In the case of a positive qualification response the contracting authority may continue with the tendering process without sending a positive qualification response before. Usually the positive qualification response is expressed by the invitation to submit a tender (not in scope of this BIS) covered by PEPPOL BIS {P013}.
-    * In scope: PEPPOL BIS {P012} is essential to inform any economic operators who have been rejected in the qualification. This PEPPOL BIS {P012} provides capabilities to inform an economic operator that his qualification has been rejected and that the economic operator is excluded from the procedure by the contracting authority.
+    * Pre-condition: An economic operator has submitted their qualification documents to a contracting authority as specified in the Call for Tender documents using PEPPOL BIS {P011}. The contracting authority evaluates the qualification information and needs to report their decision, positive or negative, to the economic operator.
+    * Optional: In case of a positive qualification response the contracting authority may continue with the tendering process without sending a positive qualification response before. When invitations to tender do directly follow the qualification decisions, sending out the invitation to submit a tender (not in scope of this BIS) covered by PEPPOL BIS {P013} is another form of positive responding to the qualification request of the selected economic operators.
+    * In scope: PEPPOL BIS {P012} is essential to inform those economic operators who have been rejected from the tendering process following the qualification. This PEPPOL BIS {P012} provides capabilities to inform an economic operator that his qualification has been rejected and that the economic operator is excluded from the procedure by the contracting authority.
 
 In an open procedure this profile is *not* used but the qualification is sent together with the tender, an economic operator submits. In open procedures evaluation results are communicated in PEPPOL BIS {P009}.

 eNotification covers the transfer of electronic procurement notices for publication and dissemination with the ultimate aim of opening business opportunities. eNotification profiles are addressed to all those who exchange procurement notices for publication and further information processing. eNotification is therefore generally addressed to eTendering Plattform Providers, Contracting Bodies, publishers, print shops, information brokers or monitoring or statistical services. eNotification can be carried out at various levels and between different levels (regional, state, European etc). The legal obligation of publishing notices at the correct level is the responsibility of the contracting bodies.
 
-The content model of procurement notices in Europe is based on {eform-reg} and upon {2014-23-EU}, {2014-24-EU} and {2014-25-EU} and their annexes, particularly the annex describing the standard forms to be used for the publication of procurement notices. eForms are at the core of the digital transformation of public procurement in the EU. Through the use of a common standard and terminology, they can significantly improve the quality and analysis of data. Well-implemented eForms increase the ability of businesses and other organisations to find opportunities. They will also reduce the administrative burden for buyers, increase the ability of governments to make data-driven decisions about public spending, and make public procurement more transparent.

 eNotification covers the electronic transfer of electronic notices for publication and dissemination services. The publication of notices is executed between a contracting body or his representative and a publisher. CEN WS/BII 3 profiles {BII14} (CWA 17026-102), {BII10} (CWA 17026-101) and {BII43} (CWA 17026-103) describe the exchange of notices between a contracting body or his representative and a publisher. In Peppol, these profiles are covered by the Peppol BIS {P008} which provides electronic messaging support to publish a prior information notice, a contract notice or a contract award notice. Thus, Peppol BIS {P008} helps contracting bodies to announce business opportunities and contract awards in public procurement procedures.
