(negotiated procedures and competitive procedure with negotiation without publication)
The present Quick Guide applies to any subsequent round(s) of the negotiated procedures and competitive procedures with negotiation without publication in which the contracting authority has asked you to submit a revised tender through eSubmission (note that the contracting authority may decide not to request you to revise your tender or to request that your revised tender is submitted outside eSubmission). The Quick Guides for the submission of initial tenders in the negotiated procedures as well as the guides for other procurement procedures can be consulted on Funding & Tenders Portal eProcurement wiki.
As an economic operator, you can:
Make sure you read the System Requirements.
You can find them on the front page of the eSubmission application and in the attachments section on the Parties page.

The support team operates in English only.
If the contracting authority decides to invite you to submit a revised tender, you will receive a notification from the Funding & Tenders Portal.
The notification will be sent to:
The notifications can be accessed also through the area My notifications of the Funding & Tenders Portal.
To submit a revised tender for a subsequent round, the PCoCo/CoCo needs first to acknowledge the receipt of the invitation:
After acknowledging the receipt of the invitation you will be automatically redirected to eSubmission, where you can start the submission of your tender by clicking on New submission.
If you prefer to start your submission later:
In eSubmission click on New submission to start a new submission or Resume draft to resume a draft submission started earlier. You can also resume your draft from the Funding & Tenders Portal (for more information, see the section Manage submissions in Funding & Tenders Portal in this guide).
When you start your submission you will see a progress line on top of the screen. This line shows all the steps you have to go through before submitting your tender. You can also see which step you are currently in.
At any time during the submission process you can see which documents have been uploaded by clicking on the Submission documents button on the left side of the screen.
Nothing is submitted to the contracting authority until you have clicked the Submit button at the end of the submission process. |
In this step only the Contact Person section is editable .
The user starting the tender in eSubmission can indicate as Contact Person himself/herself (the name is already prefilled) or another person. If the latter does not have an EU Login account, a temporary EU Login account will be automatically created based on the Contact Person email address and the person will be invited by email to complete the EU Login registration. The invitation will be an automatic system message with no reference to the procedure.
The Contact Person receives the role PCoCo in the Funding & Tenders Portal and the user submitting the tender (if different from the Contact Person) - the role CoCo.
Click Next to move to the next step.
In this section you need to enter the amount of your tender (only in case of the lowest cost and the lowest price award method; using the same format as in the example on the screen) and/or confirm if your tender complies or not with the minimum requirements specified in the procurement documents.
If you confirm that your tender does not comply with the minimum requirements you will be asked to provide an explanation in a dedicated text box. The confirmation of the compliance or non-compliance and the explanation in case of non-compliance will be reflected in the submission report.
After clicking on the Save button you can upload the financial tender and, if required by the contracting authority in the tender specifications, the technical tender. You can upload more than one file as technical/financial tender.
Once you consider the tender data correct and the submission complete, click on Next. The button will be active only if all mandatory data and documents have been provided.
At this stage, your draft tender, including all your documents, is not submitted yet. |
The submission report is generated by the system and is part of the submission. The report lists all the documents included in the submission.
eSubmission automatically generates and adds the submission report to your submission. You can consult the report on the screen or download it for your own records (before submitting the tender). You don’t need to sign and upload the signed report in eSubmission.
After viewing the submission report, if you consider the submission complete and ready for submission, click on Next to continue.
The submission report is not a proof of submission. You have not submitted yet. Please proceed to the next step and click on Submit to finalise the submission. |
When you are ready to submit your tender, click on Submit. The system will display a confirmation message.
Click Yes if you want to confirm: you will no longer be able to modify this submission.
Please note that the system will not allow you to submit if the time limit for receipt of submissions has been reached.
An e-mail notification will be sent to the e-mail address linked to the EU login account of Primary Coordinator Contact (PCoCo) and all the Coordinator Contact(s) (CoCo) that are indicated for that tender. This e-mail notification contains a link to the Funding & Tenders Portal where the Submission Receipt can be found.
The Submission Receipt constitutes proof of compliance with the time limit for receipt of submissions. |

The Contact Person indicated in a revised tender in eSubmission receives the role Primary Coordinator Contact (PCoCo) for the submission of the revised tender in the Funding & Tenders Portal. There can be only one Primary Coordinator Contact per submission.
The user submitting the revised tender (if different from the Contact Person) receives the role Coordinator Contact (CoCo).
Additional Coordinator Contact(s) (CoCo) can be added or removed in the Funding & Tenders Portal after the contracting authority opens the revised tenders and (if applicable) before it sends the invitations for a subsequent negotiation round:
To delete a CoCo, click on the delete icon next to their name.
CoCo’s added as described above after the contracting authority has sent an invitation for a subsequent negotiation round will not be able to submit a tender in that round. Only PCoCo/CoCos who have received the invitation or CoCos who have been added through the “Manage roles” action button on the invitation will be able to submit a tender.
The Funding & Tenders Portal is the single entry point (Single Electronic Data Interchange Area) for participants and experts in funding programs and tenders managed by the European Commission and other EU bodies.

For each invitation the PCoCo/CoCo can see the procedure reference number, the submission deadline, the invitation status (received, acknowledged), the procedure title, the procedure type and the round.
The Action menu allows the PCoCo/CoCo to perform the following actions per invitation and submission status.
