NEN — National Electronic Tool (Czech Republic)

NEN (Národní elektronický nástroj) is the Czech Republic’s national electronic procurement tool listed on the central portal, used to operate electronic procurement procedures and trainings.

What NEN is and does

NEN (Národní elektronický nástroj) is presented on the Czech central public procurement portal as a national electronic tool that supports electronic conduct of procurement procedures. The portal lists NEN among basic services and links training and operational materials about the system.

Relation to VVZ and ISVZ

The portal lists the Věstník veřejných zakázek (VVZ) and the Informační systém o VZ (ISVZ) separately. The VVZ is presented as the publication bulletin for notices, while NEN is shown as an operational electronic tool distinct from those publication and information systems.

Practical implications for suppliers

Where a contracting authority chooses to use NEN, suppliers may use it to submit documents and participate in electronic auctions or other electronic procedure features; the portal publishes trainings for both contracting authorities and suppliers.
