1. A procuring entity that uses selective tendering shall establish that the final date for the submission of requests for
participation shall not, in principle, be less than 25 days from the date of publication of the notice of intended
procurement. Where a state of urgency duly substantiated by the procuring entity renders this time-period imprac
ticable, the time-period may be reduced to not less than 10 days.
2. Except as provided for in paragraph 3, a procuring entity shall establish that the final date for the submission of
tenders shall not be less than 40 days from the date on which:
(a) in the case of open tendering, the notice of intended procurement is published; or
(b) in the case of selective tendering, the entity notifies the suppliers that they will be invited to submit tenders,
whether or not it uses a multi-use list.
3. A procuring entity may reduce the time-period for tendering set out in paragraph 2 to not less than 10 days where:
(a) the procuring entity published a notice of planned procurement under paragraph 3 of Article 45 at least 40 days
and not more than 12 months in advance of the publication of the notice of intended procurement, and the notice
of planned procurement contains:
i) a description of the procurement;
ii) the approximate final dates for the submission of tenders or requests for participation;
iii) a statement that interested suppliers should express their interest in the procurement to the procuring entity;
iv) the address from which documents relating to the procurement may be obtained; and
v) as much of the information that is required for the notice of intended procurement under Appendix IV, as is
available.
(b) the procuring entity, for procurements of a recurring nature, indicates in an initial notice of intended procurement
that subsequent notices will provide time periods for tendering based on this paragraph; or
(c) a state of urgency duly substantiated by the procuring entity renders such time-period impracticable.
4. A procuring entity may reduce the time-period for tendering set out in paragraph 2 by five days for each one of the
following circumstances:
(a) the notice of intended procurement is published by electronic means;
(b) all the tender documentation is made available by electronic means from the date of the publication of the notice
of intended procurement;
(c) the entity accepts tenders by electronic means.
5. The use of paragraph 4, in conjunction with paragraph 3, shall in no case result in the reduction of the time-periods
for tendering set out in paragraph 2 to less than 10 days from the date on which the notice of intended procurement
is published.
6. Notwithstanding any other time-period in this Appendix, where a procuring entity purchases commercial goods or
services, it may reduce the time-period for tendering set out in paragraph 2 to not less than 13 days, provided that the
procuring entity publishes by electronic means, at the same time, both the notice of intended procurement and the
complete tender documentation. In addition, where the entity accepts tenders of commercial goods or services by
electronic means, it may reduce the time-period established in accordance with paragraph 2 to not less than 10 days.
7. Where a procuring entity covered under Annex 2 has selected all or a limited number of qualified suppliers, the time-
period for tendering may be fixed by mutual agreement between the procuring entity and the selected suppliers. In the
absence of agreement, the period shall not be less than 10 days.

the Union or its Members States providing for mutual recognition in accordance with Article VII of the GATS, shall
also be excluded from this provision.
Paragraph 2
Iraq may meet the requirement of this paragraph by according to services, service suppliers, establishments and investors
of the Union, either formally identical treatment or formally different treatment to that it accords to its own like services,

less favourable if it modifies the conditions of competition in favour of services or service suppliers of Iraq compared to
like services, service suppliers, establishments and investors of the Union.
Paragraph 3
For greater certainty, the notification should be addressed to the Director General of the Directorate General for Trade, or
its successor.
