The decision on call for tenders creates the prerequisite for publication.

After the decision on call for tenders, the tender documentation is published or, in the case of an invitation procedure, sent out.

The decision on call for tenders is made by the project sponsor, where applicable with the involvement of the body in charge of tenders in the core organization. The project sponsor ensures coordination with the core organization.
