Informatie over kavels:
Bidders may propose to supply either the services described as "Carrier A" (Lot 1) or those described as "Carrier B" (Lot 2), or both lots provided that the services will be supplied through distinct carriers. In case that a bidder proposes to supply both lots, the EPO reserves the right to only award a single lot and the choice for the lot concerned will be at the discretion of the EPO. If the bidder operates as a broker /reseller of data communication connections it is not allowed to engage the same subcontractor(s) for both the services described as "Carrier A" and those described as "Carrier B". In that case the bidder should engage different subcontractors for the services described as "Carrier A" and described as "Carrier B".
