The Host Nation will not accept requests for nomination received directly from firms. Those firms that are nominated to bid will be added to an electronic distribution list of firms eligible to bid on this ICB project. When the Invitation for International Bidding (IFIB) is issued, those firms will be notified electronically and will be instructed to download the tender documents on the following website: http://www.act.nato.int/budfin/rfpmain.htm.
