Conditions for participation

candidates) who reside in 1 of the European Union Member States or in a
country or territory in the regions covered and/or authorised by the
specific legal provisions applicable to the programme under which the
contract is financed (see point 30). International organisations may also
take part. Participation of natural persons is governed by the legal
provision applicable to the programme under which the contract is
financed.
12. Application: Any eligible natural person or legal entity (as defined
in point 11) or grouping of said parties (consortium) may apply.
A consortium can be a permanent grouping with legal status or an informal
grouping created with a specific invitation to tender in mind. All the
members of a consortium (i.e. lead company and all other members) shall be
jointly and severally liable vis-à-vis the contracting authority.
Should an ineligible natural person or legal entity (as defined in point
11) take part, this will result in the application concerned being
automatically disqualified (in particular, the application from the whole
consortium where said party belongs to a consortium).
13. Number of applications: Natural persons or legal entities can only
submit 1 application irrespective of whether they take part as a sole
legal entity, or as a lead company or member of a consortium submitting an
application. Should a natural person or legal entity submit more than 1
application, all the applications involving said party may be rejected.
14. Prohibition on alliances between shortlisted candidates: Tenders
which include companies not mentioned on the application forms used to
compile the shortlist will be disqualified from this restricted procedure.
Candidates invited to tender may not form alliances or subcontract to each
other for the contract in question.

application the statement provided in the standard application form
confirming that they are not in any of the situations described in section
2.3.3 of the Practical Guide to contract procedures for EC external
actions.
16. Subcontracting: Subcontracting is not permitted.
17. Number of candidates invited to tender: Between 4 and 8 candidates
will be invited to submit a detailed tender for this contract, on the
basis of the applications received. If the number of eligible applications
which comply with the selection criteria is less than the minimum of 4,
the contracting authority may invite those candidates complying with the
criteria to tender.

Selection and award criteria
21. Selection criteria: The following selection criteria will be applied
to candidates. Where applications are submitted by a consortium, then the
criteria will apply to the consortium as a whole.
(1) Candidates' economic and financial capacity:
(a) candidates' average annual turnover during the past 2 years
(2005-2006) must have been at least 1,5 times the maximum amount budgeted
for the contract. The turnover must, therefore, be defined as an absolute
value;
(b) cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the financial
year must be in surplus, overall, for the years 2005 and 2006.
(2) Candidates' professional capacity:
(a) candidates must have a relevant professional certificate and/or
qualification for the contract;

consortium as a whole where the application is submitted by a consortium)
must currently be working in the field of studies on natural and/or
agricultural resources and on the kind of topics covered by this contract.
(3) Candidates' technical capacity:
(a) candidates (or the consortium as a whole where the application is
submitted by a consortium) have carried out at least 3 studies in the past
3 years on the potential of natural and/or agricultural resources to be
developed with a view to internal marketing and/or export, in
Mediterranean-type climates or similar;
(b) candidates (or the consortium as a whole where the application is
submitted by a consortium, or a member of the consortium) have carried out
at least 2 studies in the past 5 years on integrated rural development on
an intermunicipal, regional or district scale.
Economic operators may, if necessary and for a specific contract, make use
of the capacities of other bodies irrespective of the legal nature of the
connection existing between themselves and said bodies. In such an event,
they must provide the contracting authority with proof that they will have
the resources needed to carry out the contract by, for example, producing
a written commitment by said bodies to make such resources available.
Consortia of economic operators may make use, on the same terms and
conditions, of the capacities of other members of their consortium or
other bodies.
If more than 8 applications prove to be eligible, i.e. meet all the
selection criteria, then the strengths and weaknesses of these candidates'
applications will need to be re-examined to determine which 8 applications
for the invitation to tender are the most suitable. Only the following
factor will be considered in the re-examination:
— number of contracts carried out in the past 3 years which were relevant
to this contract.
