In exceptional and duly justified cases, tender procedures may be published with a Suspension Clause (2.4.12), i.e. a tender procedure is launched before a financing decision is issued or a financing agreement signed between the European Commission and the Beneficiary Country. The award of the contract is subject to the conclusion of the financing agreement and the provision of the funding. Existence of a suspension clause must be explicitly mentioned in the procurement notice. The procedure will invariably be cancelled if the ECs decision making procedure is not completed or the FA is not signed.

Variant Solutions-1
Variant solutions may only be allowed in the case a derogation has been granted to use best value for money as award criteria. See point 24 of ITT (award criteria). Tenderers must submit a tender in accordance with the requirements of the tender dossier. If the invitation to tender provides for variants to be submitted, the technical specifications and evaluation grid must specify the subject, limits and basic conditions applicable. Should the tenderer wish to submit variant technical proposals, it may do so. Only variants proposed by the tenderer submitting the lowest compliant tender will be considered by the Contracting Authority.

Rules of Origin - 2
In cases where more than one country is involved in the production of goods it is necessary to determine which of those countries origin of goods on the finished goods. The country of origin is deemed to be the country in which the goods have undergone their last economically justified substantial transformation and the provisions of Article 24 of the Community Customs Code must therefore be applied on a case by case basis to those goods.
