Applications submitted by any other means will not be considered. By submitting an application candidates accept to receive notification of the outcome of the  procedure by electronic means. Such notification shall be deemed to have been received on  the date upon which the contracting authority sends it to the electronic address referred to in  the application form. The candidate’s attention is drawn to the fact that there are two different systems for sending  applications: one is by post or private mail service, the other is by hand delivery. In the first case, the application must be sent before the date and time limit for submission, as  evidenced by the postmark or deposit slip1, but in the second case it is the acknowledgment of  receipt given at the time of the delivery of the application that will serve as proof. 1 It is recommended to use registered mail in case the postmark would not be readable. Any application sent to the contracting authority after this deadline will not be considered. The contracting authority may, for reasons of administrative efficiency, reject any application  submitted on time but received, for any reason beyond the contracting authority's control, if  accepting applications that were submitted on time but arrived late would considerably delay  the evaluation procedure or jeopardise decisions already taken and notified. In the premises where MoIT/DoEUFP is located, there is one security point to pass through,  and only two elevators operating to reach 7th floor. Please consider these physical conditions  not to miss the deadline for receipt of applications.
