It should be noted that electronic letters of guarantee issued by the Fund meet all legal requirements and are thus accepted by the Contracting Authorities. Therefore, there is no need to be submitted in paper form in a sealed envelope, following the provision of Article 3.5 b of the 127\/2017 decision of the Hellenic Single Public Procurement Authority (Government Gazette, B&#8217; 4534\/21.12.2017), which stipulates that:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>the user &#8211; economic operator shall submit the above (sub)files via the subsystem, as described below: a&#8230; b. In addition, within three (3) working days from the electronic submission of the above data and supporting documents, the economic operator must submit the original participation letter of guarantee to the contracting authority in paper form in a sealed envelope. It should be noted that this obligation does not apply to electronic guarantees (e.g. guarantees issued by TMEDE), which bear an advanced digital signature.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_4 1_4 fusion-one-fourth fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:25%;width:calc(25% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.25 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-widget-area awb-widget-area-element fusion-widget-area-1 fusion-content-widget-area\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#000000;--awb-padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\">\n\t\t<div id=\"recent-posts-3\" class=\"widget widget_recent_entries\">\n\t\t<div class=\"heading\"><h4 class=\"widget-title\">Recent Posts<\/h4><\/div>\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/tmede.gr\/english\/2026\/04\/14\/p-o-mi-t-e-d-y-event-at-the-tmede-building-engineers-in-the-public-sector-from-signature-to-disciplinary-liability\/\">P.O.MI.T.E.D.Y.
