28The interpretation given by the Court in Fastweb (C‑100/12, EU:C:2013:448), referred to in paragraphs 24 and 25 above, is applicable in a context such as that of the main proceedings. First, each of the parties to the proceedings has a legitimate interest in the exclusion of the bids submitted by the other competitors. Second, as observed by the Advocate General at point 37 of his Opinion, it cannot be ruled out that one of the irregularities justifying the exclusion of both the successful tenderer’s bid and that of the tenderer challenging the contracting authority’s decision may also vitiate the other bids submitted in the tendering procedure, which may result in that authority having to launch a new procedure.
