This calendar shall be established in such a way that the recommendation shall be<br />

reached within a reasonable time-limit following the receipt of the tenders (ideally 30<br />

officer shall not communicate the name of the company requesting the extension.<br />

For cases foreseen under 1.5.2 ii an extension of a maximum period of up to 10<br />

working days shall be granted automatically at the request of any potential Tenderer,<br />

provided such request reaches the Agency within the time limit prescribed in the ITT<br />

for such request.<br />

Pursuant to Article 23.9 of the Procurement Regulations, and in accordance with PART<br />

so warrants, the TEB may appoint tender evaluation panels to advise it on specific<br />

aspects of the tenders.<br />

1.7 Key Acceptance Factors<br />

The TEB shall when relevant decide on key acceptance factors to be verified by the<br />

TOB. Such factors shall in any case be clearly indicated in the ITT cover letter and/or<br />

in the Special Conditions of Tender.<br />

of the local Procurement division/ service for consultation.<br />

2.1.3 Following such consultation, the TEB Chairperson shall consult with the TEB in<br />

order to assess the impact of the proposed amendment on the ITT and he shall take the<br />

appropriate measures, including if necessary re-issuing of the ITT.<br />

2.1.4 Any amendment to the ITT – together with any extension of the related closing<br />

date for the receipt of tenders, as may be required - shall be communicated<br />

simultaneously to all potential Tenderers concerned in the same manner to that which<br />

was used at the time of the publication of the original ITT.
