The National Procurement Service (NPS) in the Office of Public Works has been tasked with the establishment of a national multi-stakeholder e-invoicing forum, and this forum was set up on 30 May 2011.

The members of the forum are being consulted on the best approach to promoting e-invoicing, taking into account the views of the various sectors.

Standards in e-invoicing are due to be agreed at European Level later this year. At that time the NPS will be in a better position to decide on the appropriate approach to acquiring this service.E
