Subject: Request for the reasons for the award decision. Rear Loading Beam Saw ([Reference number])

Dear Sir or Madam,

We submitted a tender in the procedure named above and have been informed that the contract was awarded to another tenderer.

So that we can understand the decision, we kindly ask you to send us:

1. the reasons why our tender was not selected;
2. the name of the successful tenderer, and the characteristics and relative advantages of its tender;
3. the scores that our tender and the successful tender received on each award criterion, with the reasons for each score;
4. the date on which the standstill period ends, if one applies.

We make this request under the national rules that implement Article 55(2) of Directive 2014/24/EU (Article 75(2) of Directive 2014/25/EU for utilities), which gives the contracting authority 15 days from receiving a written request to answer.

Please confirm that you have received this request.

Yours faithfully,
