The contracting entity has decided to suspend the procurement. During the tender, incompleteness was found in the contract notice. That was caused by a contracting entity when the criteria for evaluation has been set. The comparison criteria were incomplete and did not describe the actual cost impact of the acquisition on the contracting entity. According to law and case-law, the contract notice and invitation to participate cannot be essentially change by a correction notice. Based on the above, the contracting entity has a real and justified reason mentioned in section 125 of the Procurement Act to suspend the procurement procedure. A separate decision will be made to suspend the procurement. The contracting entity will publish a new procurement notice for the procurement.
