As part of activities in the next phase of the Peppol Critical Infrastructure Working Group (CIWG), OpenPeppol is considering starting a project to establish an instance of the Peppol SML under its direct ownership and supervision.
This is already known as an objective of the CIWG and has been included in the Operational Plan for 2025, which has been adopted by the 18th OpenPeppol General Assembly. The aim is to increase the level of service and gain full control of the SML infrastructure, a necessary step for extending it with new features such as federation.
OpenPeppol is considering extending the capacity and capability of the Operating Office, in order to execute this project. For this reason, we are requesting information from parties with relevant expertise and the willingness to participate, under contract with OpenPeppol.
Expertise is sought in the following areas:
- Developing and maintaining the SML application
- Establishing and hosting an operational production environment for the SML application and service
Interested parties can be companies or individual professionals and can be OpenPeppol members or not.
If you are interested to participate, you can send us an Expression of Interest by email to info@peppol.eu, including your profile and a description of any relevant expertise and experience in either, or both of the subjects above.
The deadline for submitting your interest has been extended to 18 July 2025.
