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.
