1.The ECB may apply the restricted procedure if:
(a)the ECB's requirements can be defined in such detail that tenders can be compared against each other and the contract can be awarded without negotiations with the tenderers; and
(b)it is necessary to restrict the number of tenders for administrative reasons or because of the nature of the procurement.
