A tender received after the time-limit for receipt of tenders will be rejected. The submission receipt provided by eSubmission with the official date and time of receipt of the submission (timestamp) constitutes proof of compliance with the time-limit for receipt of tenders 7 . 

Tenderers must ensure that their submitted tenders contain all the information and documents required by Europol at the time of submission as set out in the procurement documents. 

## Declaration on honour signed 8 

The Declaration(s) on Honour on exclusion and selection criteria (template available in the procurement documents) shall be dated and signed, either by hand or by applying a qualified electronic signature, by an authorised representative of the signatory. 

When the Declaration(s) on Honour is/are signed by hand, a scanned copy must be attached to the tender in e-Submission. The hand-signed original(s) must be sent by letter to the Europol’s address specified below as soon as possible following the electronic submission of tender. The envelope, clearly mentioning the reference to the call for tenders and the e-Submission ID of the tender must be marked as "CALL FOR TENDERS – NOT TO BE OPENED BY THE INTERNAL MAIL DEPARTMENT". Only the original(s) of the Declaration on Honour are to be sent by letter, not other documents.
