Article 69. Consideration and Evaluation of Proposals of Tender Participants

The time limit for consideration and evaluation of proposals of tender participants cannot exceed forty-five working days from the moment of the deadline for submission of proposals.

The proposal shall be recognized as properly registered if it complies with the requirements of this Law and the procurement documentation for the tender.

The Procurement Commission shall reject the proposal if the tender participant who submitted it does not meet the requirements established by this Law, or the proposal of the tender participant is not properly executed, and also does not comply with the requirements of the procurement documentation for the tender.

At the time indicated in the announcement as the time for conducting the tender, the electronic public procurement system shall automatically provide the possibility to view the electronic documents posted by the participants that constitute their tender proposals. The electronic public procurement system shall verify the compliance of the price offered by the participant with the initial price and the completeness of the electronic fields. If the price offered by the participant is higher than the initial price, as well as if there are mandatory blank fields for filling in and posting the documents that must be attached, the electronic public procurement system shall reject the participant's tender proposal, indicating the specific reason. The verification of the compliance of the information in the attached documents with the information indicated in the participant's tender proposal shall be carried out by the responsible secretary of the procurement commission.

In order to identify the winner of the tender based on the criteria specified in the procurement documentation for the tender, the procurement commission shall evaluate proposals that have not been rejected.

At the first stage, the evaluation of the technical part of the tenderer's proposal shall be carried out. The decision of the procurement commission on the evaluation of the technical part of the tender proposal shall be drawn up in a protocol, which indicates the results of the evaluation of the first stage of the tender.

The second stage of the tender shall be held if there are proposals from not less than two participants who have passed the first stage of the tender.

The quantitative indicators of the tender proposal, including the price component, shall be automatically evaluated by the electronic public procurement system.
