That is fine. We can therefore assume that the contract has not been awarded.

That brings me to my second question. The tendering process was announced on the 31^st of May 2006. An initial technical evaluation was undertaken in mid-October 2006 and a financial evaluation was run at the end of October 2006. In other words, an evaluation was carried out about six months ago and almost a year has gone by since the tendering process was launched on May 31. Is that a standard timeframe?
