3/ Exceptionally and when justified on sound
economic grounds, the Agency may permit the
use of a procedure other than open bidding in
situations not foreseen in Article 26-30.
4/ A procuring entity shall plan its procurement in
a rational manner, and no procurement
requirements for a given quantity of goods,
works or services shall be split up with the
intention of avoiding a procurement procedure
stated in this Proclamation or in the
procurement directives.
26. Conditions for use of Restricted Tendering
1/ The procuring entity may engage in procurement
by means of restricted tendering in accordance
with Article 44, when:
a) the goods, works or services, by reason of
the highly complex or specialized nature,
are available only from a limited number of
suppliers; or
b) the time and cost required to examine and
evaluate a large number of bids would be
disproportionate to the value of the goods,
works or services to be procured.
2/ The condition referred to in Sub-Article (1) (b)
shall in any case be considered to be fulfilled
when the estimated value of the contract does
not exceed a threshold set out in the
procurement directives.
27. Conditions for use of Direct procurement
1/ The procuring entity may use direct procurement
in accordance with Article 45 if this method is
not resorted to with a view to avoiding possible
competition or in a manner which would
constitute a means of discrimination among
candidates:
a) when in absence of competition for
technical reasons the goods, works or
services can be supplied or provided only
by one candidate;

b) within limits defined in the procurement
directives, for additional deliveries of
goods by the original supplier which are
intended either as parts replacement for
existing supplies, services or installations
or as the extension of existing supplies,
services or installations where a change of
supplier would compel the procuring entity
to procure equipment or services not
meeting requirements of interchangeability
with already existing equipment or
services;
c) within limits defined in the procurement
directives, when additional works which
were not included in the initial contract
have through unforeseeable circumstances
become necessary sine the separation of the
additional works form the initial contract
would be difficult for technical or
economic reasons;
d) within limits defined in the procurement
directives, for new works consisting of the
repetition of similar works which conform
to a basic project of which an initial
contract was awarded on the basis of open
or restricted bidding.
e) within limits defined in the procurement
directives, for continuation of consultant
services, where the original contract has
been satisfactorily performed and the
continuation is likely to lead to gains in
economy and efficiency.
f) for purchase of goods made under
exceptionally advantageous conditions
which only arise in the very short term.
This provision is intended to cover unusual
disposals by firms, which are not normally
suppliers. It is not intended to cover
routine purchases from regular suppliers.
g) the head of the procuring entity has
determined that the need is one of pressing
emergency in which delay would create
serious problems and therefore injurious to
the performance of that procuring entity.

2/ The procuring entity may also use direct
procurement when the contract price does not
exceed an amount stated in the procurement
directives.
28. Conditions for use of Request for Proposals
The procuring entity may engage in procurement by
means of request for proposals in accordance with
Article 46 when it seeks to obtain consultancy
services or contracts for which the component of
consultancy services represents more than 50% of
the amount of the contract.
29. Conditions for use of Request for Quotations
The procuring entity may engage in procurement by
means of request for quotations in accordance with
Article 47 for the purchase of readily available
goods or for procurement of works or services for
which there is an established market, so long as the
estimated value of the contract does not exceed an
amount stated in the procurement directives.
30. Conditions for use of Two-stage Bidding
Procuring entities may engage in procurement by
means of two-stage bidding in accordance with
Article 48:
1/ When it is not feasible for the procuring entity
to formulate detailed specifications for the
goods or works or in the case of services to
identify their characteristics and, in order to
obtain the most satisfactory solution to its
procurement need;
a) it seeks bids, proposals or offers as to
various possible means of meeting its
needs; or
b) because of the technical character of the
goods or works, or because of the nature of
its services it is necessary for the public
body to negotiate with the suppliers.

34. Provision of bid documents
Bid documents shall be made available to
candidates in an expeditious manner, at a price not
exceeding the cost of reproduction and delivery to
candidates, and otherwise in the manner specified in
the invitation to bid.
35. Modifications to bid documents
1/ At any time prior to the deadline for submission of
bids, the procuring entity may, on its own initiative
or in response to an inquiry by a candidate having
purchased the bid documents, modify the bid
documents by issuing an addendum, which becomes
an integral part of the bid documents.
2/ Any addendum shall be communicated promptly
to all candidates having purchased the bid
documents.
3/ If the procuring entity considers it necessary to
amend the bid documents, and if it determines
that there is no enough time to incorporate the
modification shall postpone the closing date by
a number of days, depending on the
procurement object, which is sufficient to
enable the bids to take the addendum into
account in preparing their bids.
36. Bid Security
1/ Unless otherwise provided in this Proclamation,
the procuring entity shall include in the bid
documents a condition that bids must be
