The Netherlands The Netherlands  Europol Public Information E-mail address:  tenders@europol.europa.eu If tenderers believe that there is maladministration, they may lodge a complaint to the European  Ombudsman within two (2) 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 (2) 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 the General Court of the European Union (http://curia.europa.eu). General Guidance on Europol Procurement Procedures  Page  20  of  20
