Restricted procedure. Tender procedures are restricted whenever, after publication of a contract notice, all economic operators may ask to participate to an invitation to tender, but only those candidates satisfying the selection criteria and invited simultaneously by the contracting authority may submit a tender. The contract notice shall specify at least the rules governing the lodging/submission of candidacies, the exclusion, selection and award criteria and set out the essential technical specifications. The selection phase may be repeated for each individual contract or may involve the drawing up of a list of potential candidates following a call for expressions of interest. The number of candidates invited to submit a tender may not be less than four, provided that a sufficient number of candidates satisfy the selection criteria. In any event, the number of candidates invited shall be sufficient to ensure genuine competition. The scope of the publication of the contract notice shall be established taking into account the value and type of the contract.
