ETIS aims at overcoming restrictions for enterprises in accessing public tender information by developing an Internet based public tender information platform, especially focussing on the hardly accessible sub-thresholds tenders.

The ETIS platform will offer services tailored to the needs of four main target groups:
- Businesses and Enterprises;
- Public authorities;
- Interested Multipliers;
- Professionals.

These target user groups will be involved in a pilot and market test phase of the project. Later on, after the end of the project, they will have the following benefits from the ETIS-Service:
- Improved access to public tenders;
- Assistance in efficiently evaluating these in regard of relevance for their business;
- Background information on general and legal aspects of public tender information;
- Decentralised access to European wide information;
- Cooperation and sharing of experiences.

The main benefits for the public sector will be the improved publication of tenders leading to more and better offers from interested contractors.
