Terms of participation

8.Eligibility and rules of origin:

Participation in tendering is open on equal terms to natural and legal persons (participating either individually or in a grouping — consortium — of tenderers) which are established in one of the Member States of the European Union, ACP States or in a country or territory authorised by the ACP–EC Partnership Agreement under which the contract is financed (see also item 22 below). Participation is also open to international organisations. All goods supplied under this contract must originate in these countries, except in the situation when the total price for a lot tendered falls below the threshold for the competitive negotiated procedure, i.e. less than 100 000 EUR, in which case goods supplied under the lot concerned can originate from any origin (ref. Section 2.3.1 of the ‘Practical Guide’).

9.Grounds for exclusion:

Tenderers must submit a signed declaration, included in the tender form for a supply contract, to the effect that they are not in any of the situations listed in point 2.3.3 of the ‘Practical Guide’.

10.Number of tenders:

Tenderers may submit only 1 tender per lot. Tenders for parts of a lot will not be considered. Any tenderer may state in its tender that it would offer a discount in the event that its tender is accepted for more than 1 lot. Tenderers may submit a tender for a variant solution in addition to their tender for the supplies required in the tender dossier.

11.Tender guarantee:

Tenderers must provide a tender guarantee for each lot bid when submitting their tender as follows:
lot 1: radiographic equipment: 2 000 EUR;
lot 2: specialised laboratory analysers: 2 000 EUR;
lot 3: other laboratory equipment: 1 500 EUR;
lot 4: laboratory refrigerator: 500 EUR.
This/these guarantee(s) will be released to unsuccessful tenderers once the tender procedure has been completed and to the successful tenderer(s) upon signature of the contract by all parties. This guarantee will be called upon if the tenderer does not fulfil all obligations stated in its tender.

12.Performance guarantee:

The successful tenderer will be asked to provide a performance guarantee of 10 % of the amount of the contract at the signing of the contract. This guarantee must be provided together with the return of the countersigned contract no later than 30 days after the tenderer receives the contract signed by the contracting authority. If the selected tenderer fails to provide such a guarantee within this period, the contract will be void and a new contract may be drawn up and sent to the tenderer which has submitted the next cheapest compliant tender.

13.Information meeting and/or site visit:

No information meeting is planned.

14.Tender validity:

Tenders must remain valid for a period of 90 days after the deadline for submission of tenders. In exceptional circumstances, the contracting authority may, before the validity period expires, request that tenderers extend the validity of tenders for a specific period (see paragraph 8.2 of the instructions to tenderers).

15.Period of implementation of tasks:

All of the supplies under each contract shall be delivered, unloaded, commissioned at the nominated places of acceptance and the associated after-sales services specified in special conditions (S.C.) Article 33.1(a) — training — duly provided, all in accordance with the provisions of S.C. Article 31, within 180 calendar days, calculated from the commencement date fixed in accordance with S.C. Article 18.1, or such extended time as may be allowed under S.C. Article 20.

Selection and award criteria

16.Selection criteria:

The following selection criteria will be applied to tenderers. In the case of tenders submitted by a consortium, these selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole unless specified otherwise. The selection criteria will not be applied to natural persons and single-member companies when they are subcontractors:
1) Economic and financial capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. item 3 of the tender form for a supply contract). In the case of the tenderer being a public body, equivalent information should be provided. The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years for which accounts have been closed:
a) the average annual turnover of the tenderer for the last 3 financial years (2013, 2014 and 2015) must exceed the equivalent of 200 000 EUR.
2) Professional capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 4 and 5 of the tender form for a supply contract). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years from the submission deadline:
a) at least 3 staff currently work for the tenderer in fields related to this contract.
3) Technical capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 5 and 6 of the tender form for a supply contract). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years from the submission deadline:
a) the tenderer shall have delivered supplies under at least 1 contract with a budget of at least the equivalent of 100 000 EUR in the supply of goods which was implemented during the last 3 years from the submission deadline (see date in point 19 of this contract notice).
This means that the contract the tenderer refers to could have been started or completed at any time during the indicated period but it does not necessarily have to be started and completed during that period, nor implemented during the entire period. Tenderers are allowed to refer either to projects completed within the reference period (although started earlier) or to projects not yet completed. In the first case the project will be considered in its whole if proper evidence of performance is provided (statement or certificate from the entity which awarded the contract, final acceptance). In the case of projects still ongoing only the portion satisfactorily completed during the reference period will be taken into consideration. This portion will have to be supported by documentary evidence (similarly to projects completed) also detailing its value.
Capacity-providing entities:
An economic operator may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links which it has with them. Some examples of when it may not be considered appropriate by the contracting authority are when the tenderers rely in majority on the capacities of other entities or when they rely on key criteria. If the tenderer relies on other entities it must prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for performance of the contract, for example by producing an undertaking on the part of 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. Furthermore, the data for this third entity for the relevant selection criterion should be included in the tender in a separate document. Proof of the capacity will also have to 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 economic and financial criteria, the entities upon whose capacity the tenderer relies, become jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract.

17.Award criteria:

The contract will be awarded to the tenderer offering the lowest priced technically compliant offer.
