1.2. Every public call for tenders for a contract governed by an intergovernmental agreement is made by publishing a notice on the electronic tendering system.
The notice forms part of the tender documents and must specify and contain(1) the name of the body;
(2) a brief description of the goods, services or construction work and the place where the goods are to be delivered or the construction work performed, as the case may be;
(2.1) the expected duration of the contract or the calendar for the delivery of the goods, the provision of the services or the performance of the construction work;
(2.2) if applicable, a brief description of the options;
(3) the nature and amount of any required tender security;
(4) the intergovernmental agreement, within the meaning of section 2 of the Act, that applies;
(5) the place where the tender documents and information may be obtained;
(6) the place and the closing date and time for the receipt and opening of tenders; the time for receiving tenders may not be less than the time prescribed in the intergovernmental agreement that applies;
(7) the deadline for filing complaints under section 21.0.4 of the Act; that deadline is determined, subject to the third paragraph, by adding to the date of the notice of the call for tenders a period corresponding to half the time for receiving tenders but which may not be less than 10 days; and
(8) the fact that the body is not bound to accept any of the tenders received.
The body must ensure that there is a period of at least 4 working days between the closing date and the deadline referred to in subparagraphs 6 and 7 of the second paragraph. For the purposes of this Regulation, Saturday is considered a holiday, as are 2 January and 26 December.
For the purposes of this Regulation, “option” means a renewal option or an option concerning, as the case may be, the acquisition of additional goods identical to those initially acquired or the provision of additional services or performance of additional construction work of the same nature as those or that initially required, to the extent that the goods, services or work are or is offered at the same price and intended to fulfil the procurement requirements described under subparagraph 2 of the second paragraph.
