[4,"Good morning,\r\nI am following up on the request for clarification, sent on September 3rd.\r\nIn your kind reply, you listed all the required documents. The first item you listed is \"a. The invitation for bid signed by the legal or authorized company representative\".\r\nHowever, the document titled \"Invitation for bid\" that I received with a PEC email on August 26th, is a document that does not contemplate signature.\r\nCan you please advise if there is a different \"Invitation for bid\" document that needs to be retrieved and signed? The attachments that I downloaded from the portal do not include such document.\r\nAdditionally, in your reply, you listed the following:\r\n\"g.Annex 1 Requirements for the Tender procedure below the EU Threshold filled in, dated, signed and notarized;\r\n\"h.Annex 2 Letter of acceptance signed by the legal or authorized company representative;\"\r\nThere appears to be a mix up between these 2 documents, because the Annex 1 file is named \"annex-1_acceptance-of-tender-requirements-form (1).docx\", and the Annex 2 file is named \"Annex 2_ Requirements for procurement procedures under the European Union Threshold (2).docx\".\r\nPlease confirm that the Annex 1 and the Annex 2 files downloaded from the portal are in the correct order.\r\nThank you.\r\nKind regards.","Los Angeles, 09/05/2025\r\nPt. 0098567\r\n\r\nWith reference to your request please find below our replies to your questions:\r\nThe Invitation for Bid document you received via PEC on August 26th is correct. This document must be signed at the bottom of the invitation by the legal or authorized company representative.\r\n\r\nConcerning the Annexes, please consider the following order as correct: \r\n\r\n         Annex 1: Letter of Acceptance (to be signed by the legal or authorized company representative).\r\n         Annex 2: Requirements for procurement procedures under the European Union Threshold (to be filled in, dated, signed, and notarized).\r\nBest Regards,  \r\n\r\nItalian Trade Agency"]
