As a second line of defense, the public procurement procedure requires that every member of the procurement working group, before opening the bids to sign a privacy statement as required by Article 79, paragraph (5) of the Law on public procurement no.131 of 03.07.2015, undertaking to strictly respect the non-disclosure clauses of information.
