The tenders shall be ranked from highest to lower score. 

## 2.10. Contract Award 

The contract will be awarded to the tender ranked first, which complies with the procurement documents and is submitted by a tenderer having access to procurement, not in an exclusion situation and fulfilling the selection criteria. 

Before the contract is signed, additional documents may be requested from the winning tenderer if so specified in the procurement documents. 

## 2.11. Contract 

A Draft Contract is included in Annex 3 to this ‘Invitation to Tender & Tender Specifications’. 

Submission of a tender implies that the tenderer accepts all the terms and conditions of the Draft Contract. Contractual negotiations will not be possible after submission of the offers. 

Any issues in relation to the Draft Contract or Europol’s terms and conditions must be clarified prior to the submission of an offer via ‘Questions and Answers’ (see point 4.1 of the ‘General Guidance on Europol Procurement Procedures’ for additional information). 

The specifications and requirements in the procurement documents constitute a call for tenders in the context of the contract to be signed between the successful tenderer and Europol. 

Tenderers should note that the working language in Europol is English. Accordingly, the contract will be concluded in English and the execution of the contract must be possible in the English language. 

The execution of the contract between Europol and the contractor may be automated by the use of an electronic exchange system as specified in section 7.1 of Annex 1 (General Guidance on Europol Procurement Procedures). At the request of Europol, the use of such a system shall become mandatory for the contractor(s) at no additional cost for the contracting authority. Details on specifications, access, terms and conditions of use will be provided in advance.
