Tenderers not present at the opening session may send an information request to EFSAprocurement@efsa.europa.eu if they wish to be provided with the information announced during the public opening. 

Once the contracting authority has opened the tender, it shall become its property and will be treated confidentially. 

## 3.3 Evaluation phase (after the opening of tenders) 

Except in duly justified cases, tenderers who have failed to submit evidence or to make statements as required in the procurement documents, shall be contacted by the contracting authority to provide the missing information or clarify supporting documents. 

The contracting authority may correct obvious clerical errors in the tender after confirmation of the correction by the tenderer. 

Such information, clarification or confirmation shall not substantially change the tender. 

## 3.4 Award phase 

Tenderers will be notified of the outcome of this procurement procedure by e-mail. The notification will be sent to the e-mail address provided in the e-Submission application for the tenderer (group leader in case of a joint tender) under the section Contact Info . The same e-mail address will be used by the contracting authority for all other communications with the tenderer. It is the tenderer's responsibility to provide a valid e-mail address and to check it regularly.
