purchased under a duration contract. lf the expected cost of a one-time purchase is more than 10 000 euros without VAT and the buyer has concluded agreements with several tenderers in the public procurement, the buyer is obliged to organize a reopening of competition between all partners of the agreement. lf the expected cost of the one-time purchase is less than the above-mentioned cost, the buyer may organize a reopening of competition or purchase goods or order services from the seller whose tender is the most economically advantageous of the fixed cost (if fixed) at the time of placing the one-time purchase. The duration contract is concluded between the partners of the agreement as a result of a reopening of competition for the purchase of goods or the ordering of a service within a certain period (the length of the period is specified in the terms of the reopening of competition) on the basis of the list and descriptions of the goods or services specified in the public procurement and described in the technical specifications or specified in the reopening of competition. Under a

duration contract, the buyer has the right to order the goods or services specified in the technical specifications from the successful tenderer during the duration contract period. The duration contract is performed on the basis of purchase orders submitted by the buyer, in which, if necessary, e.g. quantity, time and place of delivery or time and place of service provision, contact person, etc. are specified.

A reopening of competition is generally organized in the Public Procurement Register for a

one-time purchase and/or forthe conclusion of a duration contract based on the following procedure:

3.2.L

3.2.2.

3.2.3

3.2.4.

3.2.5

3.2.6.

The buyer sets a reasonable deadline for submitting tenders, taking into account the complexity of the subject of the procurement contract and the time required for submitting tenders. The buyer shall specify in the reopening of competition the conditions of that reopening of competition, the list and specifications of the goods or services to be ordered, the time-limits for the delivery/transport of the goods or the provision of the service and any other information necessary for the preparation of the tender. ln the proposal for a tender, the buyer shall specify whether it intends to make a one-time purchase or to conclude a duration contract. The tender submitted by the seller shall be valid for at least 120 calendar days from the deadline for submitting the tender, unless otherwise stated in the invitation to tender. The buyer has no obligation to purchase all the goods listed in the technical specifications of the reopening of competition or to order services after receiving the tenders submitted in the reopening of competition if the buyer's capabilities and needs have changed by the time of procurement contract conclusion. ln the event that the service requires follow-up or additional activities that the buyer was unable to foresee in the reopening of competition, the buyer continues with the seller who initially provided the service without organizing a new reopening of competition. The buyer evaluates and compares the tenders according to the percentages of the tender evaluation criteria specified in the conditions of the reopening of competition and recognizes as successful the tender that is the most economically advantageous of the tenders recognized as compliant based on the evaluation criteria of the tenders. ln order to determine the most economically advantageous tender in a reopening of competition, the following tender evaluation criterias and proportions shall be used by the buyer:

3.2.7

L. Price - 50-9oo/o;

3/17

2. Delivery time - 5-45%; 3. Technical requirements (quality) -5-45%; 4. Security of supply- 5-45%.

3.2.7.1.

3.2.7.2

3.2.7.3.

Depending on the nature of the reopening of competition organised by the buyer (e.g. unforeseeable circumstances, more technically complex project, etc.), the buyer shall use all four or at least two of the above evaluation criteria and percentage ranges. ln the case of duration contracts, the buyer uses, depending on the complexity of the procurement object, either all the evaluation criteria with the specified percentages or only the price with a 1.00% percentage. The version and proportions of the evaluation criterias are determined by the buyer each time under the conditions of the reopening of competition taking into account the following:

3.2.7.3.L.

3.2.7.3.2.

3.2.7.3.3.

3.2.7.3.4.

Price (the less the better)- used in each time to determine the most economically advantageous tender. Delivery time/speed (the less the better)- shall be used in

case the timeframe between placing the order and fulfilling the order is short due to the buyer's needs. The technical requirements of the product (evaluated by the buyer, the evaluation method is determined in a

reopening of competition)- are used if the technical requirements of the product are more important than usual for the end user.

Security of supply (evaluated by the buyer, the evaluation method is determined in a reopening of competition)- is

used in cases where security of supply is more important than usual for the end user (for example - proximity to the production location, speed of life cycle service provision), i.e. it is more important than usual for the end user to ensure the reliable and timely delivery of a sufficient amount of defense and security-related items and services or maintenance, repair and spare parts, and continuous availability of other support under all conditions.

3.2.8.

3.2.9.

3.2.tO

The buyer has the right, in reopening of the competition, to ask for product samples and test them, including involving third parties in the testing if necessary. Product samples may be requested for (visual) evaluation or (technical) compliance assessment. The buyer informs all contractual partners about the results of the reopening of competition, including those who did not submit a price offer at the reopening of competition, and purchases the goods or orders the service from the tenderer who submitted the tender that was recognized as successful. ln the event that the tenderer who submitted a successful tender at the reopening of competition withdraws the tender before concluding the procurement contract or does not begin to fulfill the procurement contract on time, the buyer has the right to approach the seller(s) whose price tender was next in the ranking as the most economically successful and conclude the procurement contract without conducting a new reopening of competition and demand from the tenderer who submitted the successful tender (in the ranking from the first) to pay the price difference compared to the cost of the next successful tender and any additional costs in accordance with 5 119 of the Public Procurement Act.

4/77

3.2.LL.

3.2.12.

ln the event that more than one tender should be successful in the reopening of competition due to the submission of equal tenders, a raffle will be used to determine the successful tender. The buyer communicates the raffle procedure to the sellers before the raffle. The buyer may reject all tenders submitted in the reopening of competition if at least one or more of the following circumstances occur:

3.2.12.r 3.2.r2.2

3.2.t2.3.

tenders are unreasonably expensive for the buyer; during the reopening of competition, the buyer has become aware of information that excludes or makes it impractical for the buyer to complete the reopening of competition under the conditions stated in

the procurement documents of the reopening of competition, or the conclusion of the procurement contract on the predetermined conditions determined during the reopening of competition would not meet the buyer's previous needs or expectations due to changed circumstances; the subject of the procurement contract is no longer required, which does not depend on the buyer, or for reasons which are due to or arise from changes in legislation, administrative acts and actions of higher authorities or other similar arrangements;

3.5.1. 3.s.2.

3.5.3

3.2.r3 The buyer rejects the tender submitted to the reopening of competition, on the basis of which the procurement contract concluded would be null and void on the basis of 5 7 clause 1 of the lnternational Sanctions Act.

By submitting a tender in the reopening of competition, the seller confirms acceptance of all the conditions set out in the proposal for the submission of a tender. The submission of a conditional tender in a reopening of competition is not allowed, and the buyer rejects a

conditional or non-compliant ender (5 f f+ clauses L and 2 of the Public Procurement Act). lf, as a result of public procurement, agreement is concluded with only one partner, or if the number of agreement partners is reduced to one, the buyer may reject the submitted tenders on the above grounds.

lf, as a result of the public procurement, less than two partners of the agreement are reached, or during the period of validity of the agreement, the number of partners of the agreement decreases to one, the purchase of goods and the ordering of services are carried out based on the following procedure:

The buyer shall submit to the seller a proposal for the submission of a tender. The seller submits the tender together with the cost of the goods or services no later than 5 days after receiving the invitation to tender from the buyer. lf the seller is unable to meet this deadline, he will notify the buyer immediately. The buyer agrees to the tender by signing the procurement contract or refuses the tender within L4 days at the latest. The buyer is not obliged to conclude a

procurement contract based on the submitted tender. lf the buyer does not respond to the tender within the required days, it is considered a rejection.

The procurement contracts shall be concluded at least in a form that can be reproduced in writing. lf the value of the procurement contract without VAT is 50 000 euros or more, the parties conclude the procurement contract as a document signed by both parties. The buyer may order goods or services with an estimated cost of up to 5 000 euros without VAT from a freely chosen tenderer who is a party to the agreement, provided that the total cost of these purchases does not exceed 20% of the estimated cost of the entire agreement. The basis of 5 30 section 8 of the Public Procurement Act is primarily used for quick and small-scale purchases (e.g. the need to urgently purchase individual goods). ln addition, the buyer uses the mentioned basis if the partner of the duration contract informs

s/L7

3.7.

during the period of the duration contract that he is unable to fulfill the contract at least partially. The buyer makes a choice between the partners of the agreement in a sequence based on buyers own needs, which takes into account speed (how quickly the desired goods can be obtained), the availability of the necessary goods (whether it is immediately available in the assortment), as well as whether individual quantities are purchased in addition to the previously purchased goods. The details of the delivery shall be agreed in the procurement contract. The buyer has the right to order from the seller also other goods or services that meet the requirements of the technical specifications (goods and services, the purpose of which is

the same). Ordering of the named goods or services is carried out during reopening of competition between the partners of the agreement or by submitting proposals for the submission of tenders if there is one seller, in which the buyer provides the sellers with exact technical specifications and the conditions for pricing the goods or services.

4. Rights and obligations of the buyer

10. Force majeure

10.L

to.2.

Breach of contractual obligations is excusable if the party has breached the obligation due to force majeure. The parties consider force majeure to be a circumstance that the breaching party could not influence and, based on the principle of reasonableness, could not be expected to take this circumstance into account or to avoid it at the time of concluding the agreement, or to overcome the impeding circumstance or its consequence, e.g. natural disasters, general power outages, military operations, blockade. The parties do not consider the inability of the seller's third-party contractor to perform the agreement as

force majeure unless the party relying on force majeure provides written evidence by itself and/or the subcontractor of the occurrence of force majeure, including the fact that it has no reasonable ability to replace the subcontractor, and the other party has agreed in writing to the occurrence of force majeure. lf any circumstances corresponding to the force majeure led to a failure to perform the agreement within the period specified in the agreement or any annexes thereto, and their effect is temporary, the behaviour of the party who breached the contractual obligation is

trl!7

r.0.3

only excused for the period during which the force majeure impeded the performance of the obligation. ln the event of force majeure, the time limit for the performance of a contractual obligation shall be postponed in accordance with the duration of the force majeure event, but for no more than 90 days, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. ln case of force majeure, the procurement contract will be amended, if necessary, regarding the delivery time. A party that is not able to perform its obligations due to force majeure shall immediately notify the other party of the occurrence and ending of such a situation. Failure to notify or untimely notification deprives the party of the right to rely on the excused non- performance, i.e., the occurrence of force majeure, and the party that has breached the notification obligation is liable for the breach of a contractual obligation pursuant to as provided in the agreement. lf the effect of force majeure is permanent and does not allow the parties to perform their contractual obligations in full or in part, the parties have the right to cancel or withdraw from the agreement by giving notice of cancellation or withdrawal to the other party. The parties shall not consider the impact of import restrictions related to the Russian Federation and Belarus on the fulfillment of the obligation to deliver goods or provide services as force majeure if these circumstances occurred at the time of the conclusion of the agreement.

71,.2.

lf the goods and/or services are covered by a warranty, the seller provides a minimumt2- month warranty for all goods and/or services. lf necessary, the warranty period and other warranty conditions are specified in each procurement contract. The warranty shall commence from the day of transfer of the goods with no deficiencies to the buyer or from the signing of the handover-acceptance act by both parties conforming of the performance of services with no deficiencies to the buyer. lf the manufacturer'swarranty is in anyway more favourable tothe buyer (e.g., in termsof warranty period) than the contractual warranty obligation, the seller undertakes to arrange for the realisation of the buyer's warranty claim upon the occurrence of such an event on terms that are more favourable to the buyer, arising from the terms and conditions of the manufacture/s warranty. The warranty covers all defects in the goods during the warranty period, taking into account natural wear and manufacturer's instructions. The buyer undertakes to notify the seller of any defects in the goods or in service provision at the seller's email address, unless otherwise agreed in the procurement contract. The seller undertakes to remove the defects free of charge no later than 90 days as of the receipt of the buyer's respective reasoned warranty claim. A longer period may be established, subject to the written consent of the buyer. ln the event of a systemic error (more than 20% of the delivered goods or provided services are defective), the buyer has the right to demand the replacement of all delivered goods or provided seruices. The seller shall bear all expenses for replacing the defective goods (including transport). After elimination of defects during the warranty period, a new warranty of the same duration as the original warranty is given to the goods or services.
