Under the legislation in force, i.e. Law No 98/2016 on public procurement, contracting authorities shall treat economic operators equally and without discrimination and shall act in a transparent and proportionate manner. The same legislative act provides that any economic operator has the right to participate in an award procedure as a tenderer or a candidate, individually or jointly with other economic operators.

After entering the procedure, the economic operator may submit their tender in accordance with the specific technical requirements that are available on the website https://www.e-licitatie.ro/ or may be obtained by submitting a request to that effect to the Authority for the Digitalisation of Romania operating the electronic public procurement system.

All documents submitted in a tender by an economic operator must be signed with an advanced electronic signature, based on a qualified certificate and issued by an accredited certification service provider.

The portal used to submit a tender is the Electronic System for Public Procurement (ESPP), used for the purpose of electronic application of award procedures and publication of notices at national level, accessible at: https://www.e-licitatie.ro/

For tutorials on submission of a tender, please consult the DEMO section as well as the user manuals for both economic operators and contracting authorities available on that website.
