Selection and award criteria

21.Selection criteria:

The following selection criteria will be applied to candidates. In the case of applications 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 candidate (based on item 3 of the application form). In the case of the candidate 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 candidate must exceed 3 000 000 EUR.
2) Professional capacity of candidate (based on items 4 and 5 of the application form). 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. at least 10 staff currently work for the candidate in fields related to this contract.
3) Technical capacity of candidate (based on items 5 and 6 of the application form). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 5 years from the submission deadline.
Criteria for legal and natural persons:
1. the candidate has provided technical assistance services in a single contract, with a budget of at least 2 000 000 EUR (proportion carried out by the candidate) in the field of implementation of integrated administration and control system (IACS). The contract was implemented at any moment during the reference period: 5 years prior to the submission deadline of this application (the start and end/completion dates of the references should be specified as day/month/year);
2. the candidate has provided services in a single contract, with a budget of at least 1 000 000 EUR (proportion carried out by the candidate) relevant to IACS software development (excluding update/maintenance, etc. of packaged software). The contract was implemented at any moment during the reference period: 5 years prior to the submission deadline of this application (the start and end/completion dates of the references should be specified as day/month/year).
This means that the contract the candidate 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. Candidates/tenderers are allowed to refer either to contracts completed within the reference period (although started earlier) or to contracts not yet completed. In the first case the contract will be considered in its whole if proper evidence of performance is provided (statement or certificate from the entity which awarded the contract, proof of final payment). In the case of contracts still ongoing only the portion satisfactorily completed during the reference period although started earlier will be taken into consideration. This portion will have to be supported by documentary evidence (similarly to contracts completed) also detailing its value. If a candidate/tenderer has implemented the contract in a consortium, the percentage that the candidate/tenderer has successfully completed must be clear from the documentary evidence, together with a description of the nature of the services provided if the selection criteria relating to the pertinence of the experience have been used.
Previous experience which caused breach of contract and termination by a contracting authority shall not be used as reference.
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. It must in that case 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 — notably that of nationality — and must fulfil the same relevant selection criteria as the economic operator. With regard to technical and professional criteria, an economic operator may only rely on the capacities of other entities where the latter will perform the works or services 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.
If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the above selection criteria, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the applications of these candidates must be re-examined to identify the 8 best candidates. The only factors which will be taken into consideration during this re-examination are:
1) the total number of references fulfilling the technical capacity criterion 21.3)2; and
2) for the cases of equality in line with the first re-examination criterion, the second re-examination criterion will be the total amount of the references (proportion carried out by the candidate) satisfying the technical capacity criterion 21.3)2 above.

22.Award criteria:

Best price-quality ratio.
