10.Number of tenders:

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 not submit a tender for a variant solution in addition to their tender for the supplies required in the tender dossier.

when submitting their tender.

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.

15.Period of implementation of tasks:

150 calendar days from the date indicated in the commencement order until provisional acceptance.

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:
1) Economic and financial capacity of tenderer (based item 3 of the tender form and certified set of accounts for the last 3 years). 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:
Criteria for legal and natural persons:
1. the average annual turnover of the tenderer must exceed the annualised maximum budget of the contract;
2. current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) for each year of the reference period must exceed 1. In the case of a consortium each member must fulfil this criterion;
3. average leverage ratio (total debt/total balance sheet) in the reference period must be below 0,7.
2) Professional capacity of tenderer (based on items 4 and 5 of the tender form and CVs of the staff). The reference period, which will be taken into account, will be the last 3 years from the submission deadline:
Criteria for legal and natural persons:
1. ISO 9001 certified for procurement processes;
2. at least 5 staff currently working for the tenderer in fields related to this contract;
3. at least 1 staff member has a degree in biomedical engineering or similar.
3) Technical capacity of tenderer (based on items 5 and 6 of the tender). The reference period, which will be taken into account, will be the last 3 years from the submission deadline:
Criteria for legal and natural persons:
the tenderer has delivered supplies under at least 2 contracts with a budget of at least the total price offered for all lots that were implemented during the previous 3 years from the submission deadline which included pre-inspection, overseas shipping of equipment, customs clearance, local transportation, on-site installation of equipment, provision of training on operation and maintenance of equipment, warranty, maintenance and all required after-sales services for the equipment provided.
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 a commitment 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.
