    2.

    Is the interpretation that, under Article 51, in conjunction with Article 2 of Directive 2004/18/EC, taking account of the principle of non discrimination and transparency in the award of public contracts, the contracting authority is not obliged to seek clarification of a tender if the contracting authority considers it established that the requirements regarding the subject matter of the contract have not been met, in conformity with the Directive in the wording in effect in the relevant period?

    Is a provision of national law under which a committee established to evaluate tenders only may request tenderers in writing to clarify their bid in conformity with Article 51 and Article 2 of Directive 2004/18/EC in the wording in effect in the relevant period? Is a contracting authority’s procedure, according to which it is not obliged to request a tenderer to clarify an abnormally low price, in conformity with Article 55 of Directive 2004/18/EC, and, on the formulation of the question put by the contracting authority to the applicants in connection with the abnormally low price, did Applicants I and II have the opportunity to explain sufficiently the constituent features of the tender submitted?
