Extension of submission deadline
Question
We would like to request an extension of deadline for the submission of our tender by at least 2 weeks. According to article 27 of 2014/24/EU on public procurement, "the minimum time limit for the receipt of tenders shall be 35 days from the date on which the contract notice was sent"; the contract notice was published on the OJEU just today, 12/04 is less than 35 days away.
Answer

The time limits are laid down in calendar days and start to run with effect from the date on which the contract notice is dispatched for publication in the Official Journal, not from the date on which the notice is published in the Official Journal. In open procedures the time limit for receipt of tenders is 37 days from the day following dispatch of the contract notice. In case of this call for tenders, the Contracting Authority has decided to postpone the time limit for submission of tenders. The corrigendum of the contract notice and Invitation to tender and conditions for submitting a tender with the new date for submission of tenders will be published soon on E-TED E-Tendering platform.
