When only one Supplier has submitted a tender, ranking of tenders shall not be established, and his tender shall be declared successful, if it was not rejected under the provisions of the Tender Conditions, and if the Administrator did not take a decision on new announcing of the Tender. The Tender winners shall be invited in writing (by e-mail, mail, fax, etc.) to conclude a Contract specifying the deadline for agreement and conclusion of the Contract.

The other Supplier shall be selected according to the established ranking of tenders. 10.4.
