Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We joined the tender with reference 281736 by Metrosert (10397748) for an engineering to find a concept for a Biomass refinery pilot plant.

Submission Date has been on Monday 29^th of July 12.00 PM Estonian Time, 11:00 AM German time.

The submission of the tender was not successful out of reasons we do not know. Tere have been required information which has only been available in Estonian language. In our point of view a website which supports the English language in all kinds of information a required information in Estonian language is kind of limitating thread and not free of barrier to submit the tender. The real reason why it did not work is not known.

As you can see in the following screenshot the offer documents have been uploaded in time. They are still in the system ( Screenshot if from 07.08.2024 13:08 German time, 14:08 Estonian time.

As the fault in the system was noticed we sent the offer documents by mail to make sure that they are submitted on time.

Metrosert told us that the offer is not able to be considered because it is not available in the system.

The Screnshsot shows that they are still available in the system.

For that we request to check the procerdure once more since we are not getting sufficient answers from the tenderer.

The EU Directive 2014/24/EU, which serves as the basis for the tender, points out several times that communication does not allow discrimination.

A WEB site that offers support for the English language but then requires knowledge of the Estonian language constitutes discrimination.

We already gave this information to Metrosert but the answer every time was that our offer cannot be considered.

Kind regards from germany,

Daniel Küthe
