From 19th to 22th of March 2013 the kick off meeting of the CEN BII 3 Workshop took place in Barcelona, at the IESE University, hosted by Everis.

In 2007, the first workshop of CEN BII was initiated due to the vision of different people (worth mentioning Peter Borresen from NITA) to spread the work made in the nordic countries with NES to the rest of Europe. Spain joined the group with its own work on pre-award processes called CODICE so the whole public procurement process was covered in that initial workshop. There were four teams in that first edition: the group dealing with Profiles and data models, the group to help convergence between the two main syntaxes: UBL and UN/CEFACT, the group dealing with tools and conformance and the group devoted to pilots and testing.

While CEN BII was creating their deliverables, some relevant stakeholders and implementors joined the workshop and worked to improve the quality bringing their own experiences and knowledge. Projects such as ePrior from the European Commission and PEPPOL, a pan-European large scale project, benefited from CEN BII deliverables and enriched them. The end result of the first workshop was a set of profiles that were directly implementable in real projects. The more mature profiles were the ones devoted to cover post-award processes such as ordering or invoicing.
