1. The parties shall ensure that the procurement procedures and practices for the award of contracts followed by their Covered Entities comply with the principles of non-discrimination, transparency and fairness. Such procedures and practices shall at least meet the following conditions:

(a) calls for competition shall be made by publication of a tender notice, an indicative notice or a notice on the existence of a qualification system. These notices, or a summary of the important elements thereof, shall be published in at least one of the official languages of the GPA at national level in the case of Switzerland, on the one hand, and at Community level, on the other hand. They shall contain all necessary information about the intended procurement, including where applicable the type of award procedure being followed;

(b) time-limits shall be adequate to allow suppliers or service providers to prepare and submit tenders;

(c) tender documentation shall contain all information necessary, notably technical specifications and selection and award criteria, to enable tenderers to submit eligible tenders. Tender documentation shall be forwarded to suppliers or service providers upon request;
