A contracting authority which has awarded a public supply contract shall, no later than 48 days after the award, send to the Official Journal a notice, substantially corresponding to the form set out in Part E of Schedule 3 and, subject to paragraph (2) below, including the information therein specified.

Any of the information specified in Part E of Schedule 3 to be included in the contract award notice may be omitted in a particular case where to publish such information would impede law enforcement, would otherwise be contrary to the public interest, would prejudice the legitimate commercial interests of any person or might prejudice fair competition between suppliers.
