Question
"c- Notification of tenderers of decisions taken by the contracting authority If only one tender has been received, there will not be a standstill period for signing the contract. If necessary, the contracting authority may suspend signing of the contract for additional examination if justified by the requests or comments made by unsuccessful tenderers during the standstill period or any other relevant information received during that period. In that event, all the tenderers must be informed within three working days following the suspension decision. Should it not be possible to conclude the contract with the successful tenderer or should they withdraw, Eurostat reserves the right to review its decision and to award the contract to another tenderer, to close the procedure or to abandon the procurement." If sufficient complaints are made about the conduct of this call for tender or if sufficiently qualified and authoritative personnel are enlisted to investigate the conduct of this call for tender, will Eurostat reconsider the content of the call, abandon the existing process and re-launch the call for tender ?
