¹ In the open and se­lect­ive pro­ced­ure, all tenders sub­mit­ted on time are opened by at least two rep­res­ent­at­ives of the con­tract­ing au­thor­ity.

² Minutes of the tender open­ing are pre­pared. These must con­tain at least the names of the people present, the names of the ten­der­ers, the date of their tender sub­mis­sion, any tender vari­ants and the total price of each tender.

³ If the sup­ply and price tenders must be sub­mit­ted in two sep­ar­ate en­vel­opes, the en­vel­opes must be opened in ac­cord­ance with para­graphs 1 and 2, but only the total prices must be re­cor­ded in the minutes re­gard­ing the open­ing of the second en­vel­ope.

⁴ At the latest after the con­tract has been awar­ded, all ten­der­ers are gran­ted ac­cess to the minutes upon re­quest.
