The BEREC Office uses the specialized electronic edition of the Official Journal of the EU for procurement – TED e-Tendering and publishes information on the BEREC website and its social media accounts, to ensure the transparency of the procurement procedures. TED eTendering is an EU institutions' eProcurement platform allowing free electronic access to call for tenders' documents such as contractual documentation, technical specifications, annexes, questions and answers etc., TED eTendering effectively represents an added-value extension to TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the online version of the "Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union".

e-Tendering is also used for the electronic exchange of information between the BEREC Office and the potential contractors, as well as for the electronic submission of documents in response to call for tenders. More details on the e-submission in the Quick Reference Guide.
