What the buyer is looking for
There is a limited competition in the field of defence, the subject of the procurement – military helmets, the volume of goods to be procured, technical requirements, conditions for the performance of the contract are specified in the terms of the procurement and their annexes. The procurement is carried out in two stages: In stage I, qualification selection is carried out - suppliers wishing to participate in this procurement submit applications. Once the contracting authority has assessed the suppliers' compliance with the requirements set, it will launch Phase II and invite only those suppliers who meet the pre-qualification criteria to submit a tender.
