Kees Duvekot commented on UBL-134:
----------------------------------

I think a broader discussion on how to deal with Central Purchasing Bodies might be needed.

On the Post Award side we have the current options:

What you place where depends on who "own's" the contract .. and is the buyer ... and where the order is "originating" from and you can have two views on it .. (as far as I can tell):

view 1:
The Central Purchasing Body is generating and placing order "in the name of" the real party that is buying the goods and they will also receive the goods/invoice etc?
in that case the "cac:BuyerCustomerParty" is the real customer ... and the "cac:OriginatorCustomerParty" is the Central Purchasing Body

view 2:
It can also be the other way around ... that the Central Purchasing Body is the real ordering party .. and they have a contract with the underlying party ..
in that case the "cac:BuyerCustomerParty"  is the Central Purchasing Body, and they can decided to populate the " cac:OriginatorCustomerParty" with the party details of the underlying party.

So this is something that we would like to leave over to the actual community that is exchanging documents ... and when you do something on the PRE-award side .. we need to be aware on that should translate to the POST-award side.

> I was wondering how we could specify that the buyer is a CPB. We do not need this for the ESPD but in other document, like Notices, the ContractingPartyType could not be used for this (CPB would not disjoint in respect of the rest of the codes in the list).
> I've been searching in the common components library and code lists and did not find any mention to the CPBs...
