b) Depending on the response for the previous question, and the exact date of signing of the contract, the given time for the preparation for the production of the passport is significantly short. Thus the contract shall be signed at least 6-7 months before the sample production of the passport booklets, due to the design preparation phase, raw material preparation, acceptance and order. For this reason, we would like to recommend to modify the requirement according to the above-mentioned time frame. This way, this condition is a significant advantage of the current provider, but other companies would also have the chance to provide a competitive offer in time.

Please allow to change the requirement of level 2 security feature of the hinge. It does not have a significant effect on the security of the product, thus, we would like to recommend other, additional security feature in the booklet (level 2 or level 3), which would protect the document with higher security.
Please comply with the requirements stated in the Technical specifications.
