51Thus, that provision means that the contracting authority is under a duty, first, to identify suspect tenders, secondly to allow the tenderers concerned to demonstrate their genuineness by asking them to provide the details which it considers appropriate, thirdly to assess the merits of the explanations provided by the persons concerned and, fourthly to take a decision as to whether to admit or reject those tenders (see, by analogy, judgment of 27 November 2001, Lombardini and Mantovani, C‑285/99 and C‑286/99, EU:C:2001:640, paragraph 55).
