Submitting a tender
Notice for the procurement of funds to the premium pension fund platform will be made on the procurement platform e-Avrop. A profile in e-Avrop is required to submit a tender in the procurement.
Participation requires the payment of a tender fee, which must be paid at the latest when a tender for a procurement is submitted.
To ensure that all potential tenderers are treated equally, no information regarding the procurement will be shared directly with individual tenderers. All dialogue relating to the ongoing procurement, including questions and answers, will be handled via e-avrop.com External link, opens in new window..
Please note that documents received by an authority, such as tenders, are public documents and may therefore be disclosed in their entirety if someone requests access to them. However, information protected by confidentiality is not disclosed. It is therefore important that the fund manager clarifies which parts of the material submitted in the tender should be covered by confidentiality and describes in what way the Fund Manager would suffer harm if the information were disclosed. However, FTN will make an independent confidentiality assessment which in turn may ultimately be reviewed by a court.
