Selection and award criteria

16.Selection criteria:

The selection criteria for each tenderer are as follows:
Economic and financial capacity of candidate:
i) the tenderer's average annual turnover in the past 3 years must be at least 50 000 000 EUR or equivalent (using the euro rate of the date of publication of the procurement notice) for which audited accounts are available, as evidenced by form 4.4 financial statement and the company's previous 3 years certified payment of accounts. The tenderer is required to submit a statement of overall turnover and turnover for works contracts for the last 3 financial years;
ii) if it is the sole tenderer, it must have access to sufficient credit and other financial facilities, to cover the required cash flow for the duration of the contract as evidenced by a letter from a creditable financial institution and/or a recent bank statement, certificate of cash deposits, etc. In any case, the amount of credit available must exceed the equivalent of 3 000 000 EUR.
Technical and professional capacity of candidate:
i) the tenderer must have successfully completed during the period of 7 years prior to the submission deadline i.e. January 2010 to January 2017, at least 2 road projects of more than 35 000 000 EUR, with at least 1 in any sub-Saharan African country, and at least 1 bridge with a combined span of greater than 100 m. This means that the project the tenderer refers to could have been started/implemented/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;
ii) the tenderer must have the following certificate:
a. for national tenderers: certificate of registration with the Contractor's Registration Board in class 1 civil works;
b. for foreign tenderers: certificate of registration equivalency of the above classes in civil works and in building works in their own country of registration;
iii) the contracting authority reserves the right to ask for copies of certificates of final acceptance signed by the supervisors/contracting authority of the projects concerned;
iv) if it is the sole tenderer, it must be able to carry out at least 70 % of the contract works using its own resources, which means that it must have the equipment, materials, human and financial resources necessary to carry out that percentage of the contract;
v) the lead member of a tenderer, which is a joint venture or consortium, must be able to carry out at least 50 % of the contract works using its own means;
vi) a partner of a tenderer, which is a joint venture or consortium, (i.e. not the lead member) must be able to carry out at least 10 % of the contract works using its own means;
vii) all its staff must have at least 5 years' appropriate experience and proven qualifications relevant to works of a similar nature to this project and must include the following: construction manager, soil/material engineer, workshop/equipment manager.
The project manager must have at least 10 years' appropriate experience and qualifications relevant to works of a similar nature to this project and be fluent in spoken and written English.
Note: tenderers may propose alternative qualifications of equivalent status for these positions.
An economic operator may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacity 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 tenderer relies mostly on the capacity of other entities or when it relies 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 to perform the contract, for example by producing an undertaking on the part of those entities to place 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 tender should include a separate document providing data on this third entity for the relevant selection criterion. Proof of capacity must be furnished at the request of the contracting authority.

17.Award criteria:

The most economically advantageous tender is the technically compliant tender with the lowest price.
