Selection and award criteria

16.Selection criteria:

To be considered eligible for contract award, tenderers must provide proof that they meet the selection criteria. This proof must be provided by tenderers in the form of the information and documents described in point 12.1 of the instructions to tenderers and in any other form the tenderers wish to use.
In the case of a tender submitted by a consortium, and unless otherwise specified, these selection criteria will apply to the consortium as a whole.
The selection criteria for each tenderer are as follows:
Candidate's economic and financial capacity:
— submission of certified balance sheets for the past 3 years demonstrating the current soundness of the candidate's financial position and his long-term profitability,
— minimum average annual turnover for construction activities of 5 000 000 EUR, which corresponds to the total mandated payments received for contracts over the past 3 years,
— access to credit and other financial facilities (other than the initial advance), sufficient to cover the required cash flow for the duration of the contract, up to 2 000 000 EUR.
Candidate's technical and professional capacity:
— experience in construction contracts, in a contractor capacity, during the 5 years prior to the final date for submission of applications,
— he must have completed, as leader, at least 3 projects of the same complexity during the past 5 years, with a minimum value of 2 000 000 EUR, including at least 1 project of 5 000 000 EUR. The similarity will cover the physical size, the complexity, the methodologies and the technologies deployed. The contracting authority reserves the right to request copies of final acceptance certificates signed by the awarding authorities/supervisors for the projects concerned. This means that the project which the tenderer refers to might have begun, been carried out or completed at any moment during the period given, but does not necessarily need to have begun and been completed during this period, or have been carried out during the whole of said period,
— he must carry out at least 70 % of the work under the contract using his own resources, which means that he must have the equipment, materials, human resources and financial means needed to carry out this portion of the contract,
— the principal member of a joint venture/consortium must have the capacity to carry out at least 50 % of the works under the contract using his own resources,
— a partner in a joint venture/consortium (i.e. not the principal member) must have the capacity to carry out at least 10 % of the works under the contract using his own resources,
— for the projects referred to above or other works contracts carried out over the past 5 years, the enterprise must demonstrate its proficiency in the following areas:

• construction of reinforced concrete structures over 4 000 m²;

• supply, installation and commissioning of VRV-type air-conditioning systems;
• supply, installation and commissioning of sets including synchronised generator sets with a minimum capacity of 500 kVA, UPS of a minimum of 150 kVA;
• supply, installation and commissioning of FM200 fire suppression systems;
• supply, installation and commissioning of centralised building management systems;
• supply, installation and commissioning of access control systems.
The tenderer must prove that he has staff for the following key positions:
(a) project manager with over 15 years' experience, with architect or civil engineering training;
(b) site manager with over 15 years' experience, with civil engineering training if the project manager is an architect, or architect training if the project manager is a civil engineer;
(c) works foreman with over 15 years' experience;
(d) head of design office with over 10 years' experience;
(e) civil engineer with over 10 years' experience;
(f) electromechanical engineer with over 10 years' experience;
(g) fluids engineer with over 10 years' experience.
An economic operator may, if necessary and for a specific contract, make use of the capacities of other entities irrespective of the legal nature of the connection between itself and said entities. As a guideline, it might not be considered appropriate by the contracting authority if the tender relies mostly on the capacities of other entities or relies on the capacities of other entities for the key criteria. In this event, it must provide the contracting authority with proof that it will have the resources needed to carry out the contract by, for example, producing a written commitment undertaken by said entities to make such resources available. 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. Furthermore, the information relating to this third entity/these third entities for the relevant selection criteria must be included in a separate document. Proof of their capacity must also be provided when requested by the contracting authority.
