Transalis has been awarded a place on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) access point framework.
What does Crown Commercial Service PEPPOL accreditation mean for NHS trading partners?
The Crown Commercial Service PEPPOL access point framework accredits Transalis to transfer invoices and other business documents electronically on behalf of NHS providers and suppliers across the Pan-European Public Procurement Online network. It means NHS trading partners can exchange procurement documents to the required PEPPOL standard even if their own systems do not yet support the messaging format, since incoming data is converted automatically.

Transalis helps cut NHS costs as a member of the Crown Commercial Service
Transalis has been awarded a place on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) access point framework.
This means the EDI specialist can transfer invoices and other business documents, on behalf of NHS providers and suppliers, across the Pan-European Public Procurement Online (PEPPOL) system.
Having established a certified PEPPOL access point, Transalis can now help NHS procurement teams save money.
Joint Managing Directors, Paul Simpson and Aniello Sabatino, comment:
“Transalis has been leading the retail industry, supporting GS1, in Integration Brokerage (EDI) for the past decade and we are excited to now see the UK public sector adopting PEPPOL standards to deliver significant and sustainable cost savings to the NHS.
“Even if parties’ own systems won’t yet support the new messaging standards in full, our solution will take whatever data formats and convert these ‘on the fly’ to PEPPOL standards.
“For your trading network, and to help with the rollout to smaller entities, our PEPPOL enabled portal and paper-to-digital solutions will allow web-based document processing to the required standard.
“Our job is to bring you PEPPOL compliance at any stage during your transition as you implement the NHS eProcurement strategy, regardless of capability, current systems or size of your organisation.”
Frequently asked questions
- What is a PEPPOL access point and why does it matter for NHS procurement?
A PEPPOL access point is a certified gateway that lets an organisation send and receive standardised business documents, such as invoices and orders, across the Pan-European Public Procurement Online network. For NHS procurement, using an accredited access point means documents from providers and suppliers can be exchanged in a consistent format, supporting the public sector's move toward efficient, standardised eProcurement.
- Do NHS suppliers need their own systems to already support PEPPOL?
No. Even where a trading partner's own systems do not yet support PEPPOL messaging standards in full, an accredited access point can take whatever data formats they currently use and convert them on the fly into PEPPOL standard documents. This means smaller suppliers and providers can be brought onto the network without having to rebuild their existing EDI processes first.
- How does this accreditation support smaller organisations joining the NHS PEPPOL network?
A PEPPOL enabled portal and paper-to-digital solution let smaller entities process documents through a simple web-based interface rather than needing full system integration from day one. This makes it easier to roll out PEPPOL compliance to smaller suppliers and providers at any stage of their transition, regardless of their current capability, systems or organisational size.
