The total amount of the offer as indicated in cell E912  of the financial model – lot 1 ( Annex X-1 ) must be encoded in the field ‘Total amount’ under the section ‘Tender data’ in eSubmission. 

It is the responsibility of each tenderer to ensure that the total amount for the budget of the tender inserted in the relevant field of the eSubmission application corresponds to the amount indicated in the uploaded financial offer. In the case of discrepancies, only the amount indicated in the financial offer will be taken into account. 

The financial offer shall be: 

• Expressed in euros. Tenderers from countries outside the eurozone have to quote their prices in euros. The price quoted may not be revised in line with exchange rate movements. It is for the tenderer to bear the risks or the benefits deriving from any variation. 

• Quoted free of all duties, taxes and other charges, i.e. also free of VAT. The tenderer may indicate the amount of VAT, but it must be shown separately. 

 EU-OSHA is exempt from such charges in the EU under Articles 3 and 4 of the Protocol on the Privileges and Immunities of the European Union of 8 April 1965 annexed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. 

Exemption is granted by the governments of the Member States, either through refunds upon presentation of documentary evidence or by direct exemption.
