The Negotiated procedure is a two-stage process. Normally, a call for competition must be made, by placing a contract notice in the OJEU. There are specific rules relating to the use of the negotiated procedure.
It is possible to shorten the number of days for Stage 1 only as outlined below.
Stage 1 - Expressions of interest
Call for competition to enable potential tenderers to express their interest in participating. The normal period from publication of the contract notice in the OJEU for suppliers to express an interest in taking part in the tender is 37 days.
Use of electronic notices
Where the contract award notice has been forwarded to the OJEU in an electronic format (in the SIMAP format), the timescales may be reduced by 7 days. Thus, the 37 days may be reduced to 30 days.
Stage 2 - Submission of tenders
There is no minimum period stipulated for the return of tender documentation however, it must be reasonable and should reflect the complexity of the exercise.
Contract Award Notice
A contract award notice must be published within 48 days of the contract award.
