In addition to the technical aspects, it is necessary to define the regulatory field governing the procurement process and set out the rules for superior transparency. What is the reference regulation; is the invitation to tender specific to the country where it is launched or is it part of an international procedure? What are the rules of the invitation to tender: who can bid, what is the planning for the invitation to tender, what rules govern the bid analysis, how are the prices presented? What arrangement is there for the financing? (cf. “Financial arrangement – Mobilisation of financing”)
