72In the case of tenderers which have been excluded from the tendering procedure, Article 2a of Directive 89/665 makes clear that these are no longer to be deemed to be concerned and the contract award decision must not therefore be communicated to them if their exclusion has become definitive. However, where those tenderers have not yet been definitively excluded, the contract award decision, accompanied by a summary of the relevant reasons and a statement of the standstill period for conclusion of the contract following that decision, must be communicated to them. It is apparent from reading paragraphs 1 and 2 of that article together that compliance with those minimum conditions is intended to enable such tenderers to seek an effective review of that decision.
