VII.2)Other additional information:

The technical specifications have been updated as announced in our answer published on 3 July 2023 to question 11.

In addition, section 8.2 of the technical specifications has been reviewed to address specific requirements when artificial intelligence would be used in the execution of the later work .

Moreover, the draft contract has been replaced by a new draft contract.

Finally, whereas groups of economic operators without legal personality require a different treatment as to the VAT exemption, the administrative specifications have been updated to allow tenderers to better understand the consequences of the new rules and to make an informed decision on how to organise themselves to submit a tender. In particular, section 2.4.1 has been reviewed and points to specific requirements applicable to a joint tender from a group of economic operators without separate legal personality.
