Pleas in law and main arguments

By this action, the applicant is seeking, first, annulment of the decision of the tender opening board of 9 February 2010, rejecting the applicant’s offer because it was lodged out of time, in the context of the tendering procedure concerning 1st and 2nd level support for the users of IT systems, call centre, end user hardware management (OJ 2009/S 217-312292), and of the decision to award the contract to another tenderer and, secondly, an application for damages.

In support of its appeal, the applicant puts forward four pleas alleging:

—infringement of the obligation to reply to requests for information sent in due time to the contracting authority;

—infringement of the obligation to inform rejected tenderers of the grounds on which the rejection of their tender was based, the name of the successful tenderer and information as to the means of appeal;

—the European Union’s non-contractual liability.
