several lots. Tenderers cannot submit a variant tender in addition to
their tender for the supplies required in the invitation to tender

11. Tender guarantee: Tenderers must provide a tender guarantee of EUR 2
500 when they submit their tender. This will be returned to unsuccessful

connection between themselves and said bodies. In such an event, they must
provide the contracting authority with proof that they will have the
resources needed to carry out the contract by, for example, producing a
written commitment by said bodies to make such resources available. These
