The key aspects covered by this profile are:
- The contracting body has decided to invite an economic operator to participate in a pre-award procedure.
- The Invitation to tender document includes a specification of the catalogue that is to be submitted in the tender.
- The economic operator decides whether he participates in the tendering process, but no communication needs to be sent back to the contracting body if he decides not to..
In this BII Profile 40 Invitation to tender with pre-award catalogue request most information about the Call for Tender and the Catalogue specification is structured. In BII Profile 52 Invitation to tender, this information is defined in unstructured attachments.
This profile BII40 Advanced Invitation to tender with pre-award catalogue request is used in an restricted procedure to invite specific (e.g. pre-qualified) economic operators to submit their tenders. If, in an open procedure, all economic operators in the market are to be invited, profile BII34 Advanced Call for Tenders with pre-award catalogue request is used instead of this profile.
If the invitation to tender does not include a request to submit a pre-award catalogue, profile BII38 Advanced invitation to tender is used instead of this profile.
