Tenderers may submit any observations concerning the procurement procedure to the  contracting authority using the contact details under Heading I.1 of the contract notice. If  tenderers believe that there is maladministration, they may lodge a complaint to the  European Ombudsman within two years of the date from which they become aware of the  facts which form the basis for the complaint (see https://www.ombudsman.europa.eu). Within two months of notification of the outcome of the procedure ( award decision ),  tenderers may launch an action for its annulment. Any request tenderers may make and  any reply from the contracting authority, or any complaint for maladministration, will have  neither the purpose nor the effect of suspending the time-limit for launching an action for  annulment nor open a new period for launching an action for annulment. The body  responsible for hearing annulment procedures is indicated under Heading VI.4.1 of the  contract notice.
