Contracting authorities/entities may make known, by means of a prior information notice published by the Commission or by themselves on their ‘buyer profile’, as described in point 2 of Annex VI: where supplies are concerned, the estimated total value of the contracts or the framework agreements by product area which they intend to award over the following 12 months. The product area shall be established by the contracting authorities/entities by reference to the CPV nomenclature; where services are concerned, the estimated total value of the contracts or framework agreements in each of the categories of services which they intend to award over the following 12 months; where works are concerned, the essential characteristics of the contracts or framework agreements which they intend to award. The notices referred to in the first subparagraph shall be sent to the Commission or published on the buyer profile at the earliest opportunity after the decision approving the project for which the contracting authorities/entities intend to award contracts or framework agreements. Contracting authorities/entities that publish a prior information notice on their buyer profiles shall send the Commission, electronically, a notice of publication of the prior information notice on a buyer profile, in accordance with the format and detailed procedures for sending notices set out in point 3 of Annex VI. Publication of the notices referred to in the first subparagraph shall be compulsory only where the contracting authorities/entities take the option of shortening the time-limits for the receipt of tenders as laid down in Article 33(3). This paragraph shall not apply to negotiated procedures without the prior publication of a contract notice.
