Selection and award criteria

16.Selection criteria

The following selection criteria will be applied to tenderers. If a tender is submitted by a consortium, the selection criteria will apply to the consortium as a whole, unless stipulated otherwise. The selection criteria will apply neither to natural persons nor single-member companies if they are participating as subcontractors.
1) economic and financial capacity of the tenderer (based on the data provided in point 3 of the tender form for a supply contract).
If the tenderer is a public body, equivalent information must be provided. The reference period to be taken into account will correspond to the past 3 financial years for which accounts have been closed.
the selection criteria for each tenderer are as follows:

— the financial situation of the tenderer must not be negative, taking into account any debts, at the beginning and the end of the financial year;

Entities providing capacity: an economic operator may, if it considers appropriate, and for a specific contract, use the capacities of other entities, irrespective of the legal nature of its ties to these entities. As an example, the contracting authority may consider it inappropriate if the tender relies, for the main part, on the capacities of other entities, or calls on them for key criteria. If the tender relies on other entities, the economic operator must prove to the contracting authority that it has the resources needed for executing the contract, for example, by providing a document in which such entities commit to placing said resources at its disposal. Such entities, for example the parent company of the economic operator, must respect the same rules of eligibility – notably that of nationality – and must fulfil the same selection criteria as the economic operator. Furthermore, the information relating to these third party entities with regard to the relevant selection criteria must be included in the tender as a separate document. Proof of their capacity must also be furnished when requested by the Contracting Authority.
With regard to technical and professional criteria, a tenderer 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 the economic and financial criteria, the entities whose capacities the tenderer uses will become jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract.
Essential tasks
The contracting authority requires the following essential tasks to be carried out directly by the tenderer itself or, if the tender is submitted by a joint venture / consortium, by one of its participating members: the siting, installation, and commissioning of equipment.
