4.4.3 Where no tenders have been received, the TOB Chairperson shall inform the TEB<br />
Chairperson and shall submit the matter to both the Initiating Authority and the Head of<br />
the local procurement division/service for deciding jointly on whether to re-issue the<br />
ITT - either unchanged or amended.<br />
Should they deem that re-issuing of the ITT, even with amended specifications, would<br />
be unlikely to yield acceptable tenders, the overall tender action shall be cancelled. The<br />
Contract officer shall implement the decision accordingly, notify the local Contracts<br />
Planning officer, and this shall be recorded in the contract file.<br />
4.4.4 Where only one tender has been received, the TOB Chairperson shall submit the<br />
matter to the Initiating Authority and to the Head of the local Procurement division/<br />
service for decision after having consulted with the TEB Chairperson. They shall<br />
jointly decide on whether to re-issue the ITT or to evaluate the tender received.<br />
A decision to evaluate the admitted tender may only be taken if it is considered that reissuing<br />
the ITT would be unlikely to yield better results or would be unfeasible due to<br />
the extreme urgency of the procurement or compelling operational requirements.<br />
The Contract officer shall implement the decision accordingly, record it in the contract<br />
file and notify the local Contracts Planning officer.<br />
4.4.5 Where all tenders received have been ruled non-admissible pursuant to paragraph<br />
4.3.4 above, the Initiating Authority and the Head of the local Procurement<br />
division/service shall jointly decide on whether to re-issue the ITT, either unchanged or<br />
amended. The Contract officer shall implement the decision accordingly, record it in<br />
the contract file and notify the local Contract Planning officer.<br />
4.4.6 In the case of an open competitive tender, any unsolicited tender (e.g. from an<br />
economic operator under the jurisdiction of a non-participating State) may, at the<br />
discretion of the Head of Procurement Department following consultation with the<br />
Initiating Authority, be admitted for evaluation.<br />
4.4.7 In the case of a restricted tender action, an unsolicited tender (e.g. from an<br />
economic operator under the jurisdiction of a non-participating State) shall in principle<br />
not be admitted for evaluation; nonetheless, the Head of the local Procurement division/<br />
service may decide otherwise after having consulted with the Initiating Authority,<br />
taking due account of the terms of the restriction and provided the decision does not<br />
prejudice the fairness of the tender action.<br />
4.5 TOB Report<br />
4.5.1 The TOB shall draw up a report containing as a minimum:<br />
i. the subject and reference number of the ITT;<br />
ii.<br />
the date of issuance of the ITT, its closing date and any modifications thereto;
