The bids shall be sent in a package or outer envelope containing two separate sealed envelopes, one bearing the words ‘Envelope A — Technical bid’ and the other the words ‘Envelope B — Financial bid’. The outer envelope shall bear: the address indicated in the tender documents for the submission of tenders; the reference to the call for tenders to which the tenderer is responding; where appropriate, the numbers of the lots for which a tender is being submitted; the phrase ‘Not to be opened before the tender-opening session’, in the language of the tender documents. If interviews were envisaged in the tender documents, the evaluation committee may interview the principal members of the team of experts proposed in the technically acceptable bids, after establishing its written provisional conclusions and before definitively concluding the evaluation of the technical bids. In such cases the experts shall be interviewed by the evaluation committee, preferably collectively if they form a team, and at intervals close enough to allow comparisons to be made. Interviews shall be conducted in accordance with a standard model agreed in advance by the selection board and applied to all the experts or teams called for interview. The date and time of the interview must be communicated to the tenderers at least 10 calendar days in advance. In cases of force majeure, preventing the tenderer from attending the interview, a new date and time must be sent to the tenderer.
