The tenderer must submit his tender in a single submission. If several tenders are successively submitted by the same tenderer, only the last tender received by the purchaser within the deadline set for the submission of tenders will be opened.
The purchaser may prohibit candidates, in the consultation documents, from submitting several tenders for the contract or some of its lots, acting at the same time:1° As individual candidates and as members of one or more groupings;2° As members of several groupings.
Purchasers may authorise the presentation of variants under the following conditions:1° For contracts awarded in accordance with a formalised procedure:a) Where the contract is awarded by a contracting authority, variants are prohibited unless otherwise stated in the contract notice or in the invitation to confirm interest;b) Where the contract is awarded by a contracting entity, variants are authorised unless otherwise stated in the contract notice or in the invitation to…
The purchaser may require the submission of variants. In this case, it shall indicate this in the tender notice, in the invitation to confirm interest or, in the absence of such a notice or invitation, in the consultation documents.
Where the purchaser authorises or requires the presentation of variants, he shall state in the consultation documents the minimum requirements that the variants must meet and any special conditions for their presentation.
In the case of supply or service contracts, a variant may not be rejected solely on the grounds that, if it were accepted, it would lead to a service contract instead of a supply contract or to a supply contract instead of a service contract.
The purchaser may require tenderers to attach a French translation to the documents drawn up in another language that they submit pursuant to article R. 2151-6. It does not require a certified translation except where this is justified by an overriding reason relating to the public interest.
In the consultation documents, the purchaser may ask tenderers to indicate in their tender the proportion of the contract that they intend to subcontract to third parties, in particular to small and medium-sized enterprises within the meaning of Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC of 6 May 2003 concerning the definition of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises or to craft businesses within the meaning of Article 19(I) of amended Law No. 96-603 of…
In the consultation documents, the purchaser may require tenderers to provide a test report from an accredited conformity assessment body as proof of compliance with the technical specifications, award criteria or contract performance conditions, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 July 2008 setting out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products and repealing…
In the consultation documents, the purchaser may require tenders to be accompanied by samples, mock-ups or prototypes as well as any document enabling the tender to be assessed. Where such requests involve a significant investment for tenderers, they give rise to the payment of a premium. The amount of the premium is indicated in the consultation documents. This amount is deducted from the contract holder’s remuneration.
