Key components of the final negotiation process The contract award decision is based solely on the final negotiation process The final negotiation process will take place either as negotiations on an electronic negotiation platform or as structured parallel negotiations (for example, as negotiations involving an in-person auction and an auction1 by e-mail). Final negotiations will be based on the bid updated by the bidder for the purpose of final negotiations, which the bidder will submit when asked to do so by the contracting authority. Bidders must participate in the final negotiation process to remain in the in the evaluation. Firm bids Only firm bids will be considered. All bids that comply with the specifications of the final negotiation process and other provisions and conditions of the contract award procedure will be considered legally valid bids. This is also true for improved bids. Price negotiations will be conducted in euros (€). There will be no time to recalculate bids during final negotiations. Approved bidders will need to have calculated their lowest prices before negotiations begin.
