DUAE — Documentul Unic de Achiziție European (Romania)
Romania — DUAE (Documentul Unic de Achiziție European): the electronic supplier self‑declaration generated in SEAP and used by contracting authorities to present and assess qualification information.
What the DUAE is
The DUAE is the single procurement document (electronic supplier self‑declaration) used in Romanian public procurement. A procurement notice from a contracting authority states that the DUAE is generated directly within SEAP.
Role in verification
National guidance describes using the information in the DUAE as the basis for checking fulfilment of qualification criteria, recording verification results and for requesting supporting documents or clarifications where necessary.
Practical consequence for suppliers
Suppliers complete the DUAE inside SEAP as part of participation in many procedures. Contracting authorities consult DUAE data during qualification checks and may request documentary evidence or clarifications through SEAP workflows.
