8. Eligibility and rule of origin: Participation in the contract is open,
on equal terms, to all natural persons and legal entities (irrespective of
whether they are taking part as individuals or in a grouping (consortium)
of tenderers) from the European Union Member States who contribute to the
9th EDF, and from the ACP countries and territories, and it is also open
to international organisations (see also point 22). Due to the particular
nature of the required goods, dispensation from the rule of origin has
been granted for this invitation to tender. Consequently, no restriction
is planned.
9. Grounds for exclusion: Tenderers must provide a signed declaration,
included with the tender form for a supplies contract, confirming that
they are not in any of the situations listed in section 2.3.3 of the
Practical Guide to contract procedures in the context of external actions.

Tenders for part of a lot will not be considered. Tenderers may state in

the lot.

the goods required in the invitation to tender dossier.
11. Tender guarantee: Tenderers must furnish a tender guarantee to the
value of XAF 1 000 000 (or its equivalent in euro) when they submit their
tender. This guarantee will be returned to unsuccessful tenderers once the
invitation to tender procedure has been completed and to the successful
tenderer after the contract has been signed by all parties. This guarantee
will be drawn on if the tenderer does not honour all the obligations
stipulated in the invitation to tender.
12. Performance bond: The successful tenderer will be required to provide
a performance bond for 10 % of the contract value when the contract is

the contract signed by the contracting authority, in which to furnish the
bond along with the countersigned contract.
If the successful tenderer does not furnish the bond within the time
allowed, the contract will be rendered void and a new contract may then be
drawn up and sent to the tenderer with the second best compliant tender.
