Article 4

Procurement procedures

1.  The parties shall ensure that the procurement procedures and practices for the award of contracts followed by their Covered Entities comply with the principles of non-discrimination, transparency and fairness. Such procedures and practices shall at least meet the following conditions:

(a) calls for competition shall be made by publication of a tender notice, an indicative notice or a notice on the existence of a qualification system. These notices, or a summary of the important elements thereof, shall be published in at least one of the official languages of the GPA at national level in the case of Switzerland, on the one hand, and at Community level, on the other hand. They shall contain all necessary information about the intended procurement, including where applicable the type of award procedure being followed;

(b) time-limits shall be adequate to allow suppliers or service providers to prepare and submit tenders;

(c) tender documentation shall contain all information necessary, notably technical specifications and selection and award criteria, to enable tenderers to submit eligible tenders. Tender documentation shall be forwarded to suppliers or service providers upon request;

(d) selection criteria shall be non-discriminatory. Qualification system applied by Covered Entities must be based on pre-defined and non-discriminatory criteria and the procedure and conditions for participation shall be made available upon request;

(e) award criteria may be either the most economically advantageous tender, involving specific evaluation criteria such as delivery or completion date, cost-effectiveness, quality, technical merit, after-sales service, commitments with regard to spare parts, price, etc., or the lowest price only.

2.  The Parties shall also ensure that their Covered Entities define the technical specifications set out in the tender documentation in terms of performance rather than design or descriptive characteristics. Such specifications shall be based on international standards, where they exist, otherwise on national technical regulations, recognised national standards or recognised building codes. Any technical specifications adopted or applied with a view to, or with the effect of, creating unnecessary obstacles to procurement by a Party's Covered Entity of products or services from the other Party and to related trade between the Parties shall be prohibited.

Article 5

Challenge procedures

1.  The Parties must provide non-discriminatory, timely, transparent and effective procedures enabling suppliers or service providers to challenge alleged breaches of the Agreement arising in the context of procurements in which they have, or have had, an interest.

GENERAL AND FINAL PROVISIONS

Article 6

Non-discrimination

1.  The Parties shall ensure that, in their procedures and practices for the award of procurement contracts above the value thresholds laid down in Article 3(4), Covered Entities established in their respective territories do not:

(i) domestic products, services, suppliers and service providers; or

(ii) third-country products, services, suppliers and service providers;

(b) treat a locally-established supplier or service provider less favourably than another locally-established supplier or service provider on the basis of the degree of affiliation to, ownership of or control by natural or legal persons from the other Party;

(c) discriminate against a locally-established supplier or service provider on the basis of the fact that the product or service being supplied originates from the other Party;

(d) prescribe offsets in the qualification and selection of products, services, suppliers or service providers, or in the evaluation of tenders and award of contracts.

2.  The Parties undertake to refrain from requiring either the competent authorities or the Covered Entities to act in a discriminatory manner, either directly or indirectly. An illustrative list of areas where such discrimination is possible is set out in Annex X.

3.  In their procedures and practices for the award of procurement contracts below the value thresholds laid down in Article 3(4), the Parties undertake to encourage their Covered Entities to treat the suppliers and service providers of the other Party in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1.

To that end, the Joint Committee will draw up lists of situations in which the principle established in this Article 6 is applied.

4.  The principles set out in paragraph 1, notably in a), no i), and in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall be without prejudice to measures made necessary by the particular integration process of the Community and the establishment and functioning of its internal market, as well as by the development of the Swiss domestic market. Likewise, these principles, notably those set out in a), no ii), shall be without prejudice to preferential treatment granted under existing or future regional economic integration agreements.

Article 8

Monitoring authority

1.  The implementation of this Agreement shall be monitored, within each Party, by an independent authority. This authority shall be competent to receive any complaint or grievance concerning the application of this Agreement and shall act promptly and effectively.

Article 9

Urgent measures

1.  If a Party considers that the other Party has failed to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or that a law, regulation or practice of the other Party substantially reduces or threatens to reduce substantially the benefits accruing to it under this Agreement, and the Parties are unable to agree promptly on appropriate compensation or other remedial action, the adversely affected Party may, without prejudice to its other rights and obligations under international law, suspend partly or completely, as appropriate, the application of this Agreement. It shall immediately notify the other Party of any such suspension. The adversely affected Party may also terminate the Agreement in accordance with Article 18(3).

2.  The scope and duration of such measures shall be limited to what is necessary in order to remedy the situation and to secure, if necessary, a fair balance of rights and obligations under this Agreement.

2.  Paying due attention to issues of interoperability and interconnectivity, and after having agreed that the type of procurement information referred to in paragraph 1 is comparable, the Parties shall take all the necessary measures to ensure that suppliers and service providers of the other Party have access to relevant procurement information, such as tender notices, held on their respective databases.
