SELECTION AND AWARD CRITERIA
12. Selection criteria
Capacity-providing entities
An economic operator (i.e. candidate or tenderer) may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links it has with them. If the economic operator relies on other entities, it must in that case prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for the performance of the contract by producing a commitment by those entities to place those resources at its
disposal. Such entities, for instance the parent company of the economic operator, must respect the same rules of eligibility and notably that of nationality as the economic operator relying on them and must comply with the selection criteria for which the economic operator relies on them.
Furthermore, the data for this third entity for the relevant selection criterion should be included in a separate document. Proof of the capacity will also have to be provided when requested by the contracting authority.
With regard to technical and professional criteria, an economic operator may only rely on the capacities of other entities where the latter will perform the tasks for which these capacities are required.
With regard to economic and financial criteria, the entities upon whose capacity the economic operator relies, become jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract.
The following selection criteria will be applied to the tenderers. In the case of tenders submitted by a consortium, these selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole if not specified otherwise. The selection criteria will not be applied to natural persons and singlemember
companies when they are sub-contractors.
1) Economic and financial capacity of the tenderer (based on item 3 of the tender form).
In case of tenderer being a public body, equivalent information should be provided. The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last three financial years for which accounts have been closed.
The selection criteria for each tenderer are as follows:
• For lot 1: the average annual turnover of the tenderer must exceed 120.000 €
• For lot 2: the average annual turnover of the tenderer must exceed 120.000 €
• If the tenderer submits an offer for both lots, its annual turnover must exceed 250.000 €
2) Professional capacity of the tenderer (based on items 4 of the tender form).
The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last three years preceding the submission deadline.
• at least 4 staff currently work for the tenderer in fields related to this contract regardless the number of lots the tenderer is submitting an offer for.
3) Technical capacity of tenderer (based on items 5 and 6 of the tender form). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last five years preceding the submission deadline.
• For lot 1: the tenderer must have delivered supplies under at least 2 contracts each with a budget of at least 80.000€ which were implemented at any moment during the following period: 2019 - 2024.
• For lot 2: the tenderer must have delivered supplies under at least 2 contracts each with a budget of at least 80.000€ which were implemented at any moment during the following period: 2019 - 2024.
• If the tenderer submits an offer for both lots, the tenderer must have delivered supplies under at least 3 contracts each with a budget of at least 90.000€ which were implemented at any moment during the following period: 2019 - 2024.
This means that the contract the tenderer refers to could have been started at any time during the indicated period but it does not necessarily have to be completed during that period, nor implemented during the entire period. Tenderers are allowed to refer either to supply contracts completed within the reference period (although started earlier) or to supply contracts not yet completed. Only the portion satisfactorily completed during the reference period will be taken into consideration. This portion will have to be supported by documentary evidence (statement or certificate from the entity which awarded the contract, proof of payment) also detailing its value. If a tenderer has implemented the supply contract in a consortium, the percentage that the tenderer has successfully completed must be clear from the documentary evidence, together with a description of the nature of the supplies provided if the selection criteria relating to the
pertinence of the experience have been used. Previous experience which would have led to breach of contract and termination by a contracting authority shall not be used as reference.
