S.L. 601.12 Art. 35Internal consultation prior to publication.

(1) Before publishing a procurement procedure, contracting authorities must consult with the authorities responsible for the administration of government land and properties.

(2) If such authorities are of the opinion that they have in their portfolio a property which at least fulfils the requirements of the contracting authority, the latter shall be obliged to make use of such property instead of issuing a call for tenders.

(3) If the authorities responsible for the administration of government land and properties are of the opinion that in their portfolio there is no such property, they shall declare so and the contracting authority shall be authorised to carry on with such procurement in line with what is established under these regulations.
