Submit Objections
For public contracts awarded within the ZZVZ, you can raise objections against all actions or omissions of the contracting authority (see Section 241 of the ZZVZ). You can find the option to submit an objection in the economic operator’s actions under the option "Submit an objection". If the public contract is not awarded under the ZZVZ, this option will not be available to you (in such cases, we recommend contacting the contracting authority through internal communication).
On the detail of a procurement procedure, click on the "Submit an objection" button located under the option "Economic operator’s actions".

You can also file an objection through the "Submit an Objection" tile. Subsequently, the NEN system will provide you with a list of procurement procedures, where you can search for a specific procurement procedure using filters. You will also find the "Overview of objections" on this form. This form is solely for reviewing and checking your submitted objections, it is not possible to create or submit new objections from it.

The "Submission of an objection" form is displayed. The sections "Message header" and "Message text" are already pre-filled in this form (you can modify the texts).
In the "Attachments" section, you can upload document/s.
You can submit the objection by the "Send" or "Sign and send" button. With the latter option, the NEN system will prompt you to insert the signature certificate. In this case, it is necessary to have the signature add-ons (for download here).

After sending the objection, the send date will be recorded, you will see a green message stating "The message has been successfully delivered", and the "Withdraw the objection" button will be displayed.

A notification confirming successful submission of the objection will be subsequently delivered to the internal mailbox.
