Those notices shall contain the information set out in Annex VI Part B.

(a)
it refers specifically to the supplies, works or services that will be the subject of the contract to be awarded;
(b)
it indicates that the contract will be awarded by restricted or negotiated procedure without further publication of a call for competition and invites interested economic operators to express their interest;
