Danıştay

Case number:

2023/3615

The judgment of the 13th Chamber of the Council of State (case No 2023/3615, decision No 2024/3157) establishes that a bid may be excluded from the evaluation because the stamp duty document relating to private sector work experience is missing, but that this deficiency alone does not require the bid bond to be forfeited.
