Decision date:

12 February 2023

The claimant company was excluded from the evaluation under Article 17(b) of Law No 4734 and the debarment decision in dispute was taken against it. Since the submission of a signed bid letter without an amount together with a bid letter stating an amount must be regarded as conduct capable of affecting the award decision and competition.
