Guide to contract procedures for EC external actions'.
10. Number of tenders: Tenderers may submit only 1 tender per lot.
Tenders for parts of a lot will not be considered. 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.
11. Tender guarantee: Tenderers must provide a tender guarantee of EUR 1
800 when submitting their tender. This guarantee will be released to

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

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:
1) Economic and financial capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. item 3 of
the tender form for a supply contract):
— the average annual turnover in the last 2 financial years (2006 and
2007) of the candidate must be at least EUR 150 000.
2) Professional capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 4 and 5 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
— the tenderer must provide evidence of having 2 permanent employees
qualified in ICT installation.
3) Technical capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 5 and 6 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
(a) the tenderer has completed (provisional or final acceptance
certificate (date of issue of relevant certificate, or equivalent, is to
be given in Item 6 'Experience, project description') has been issued) at
least 2 projects in the required fields of supply described in Article 6
(within the 3-year period prior to the closing date of submission of the
application) and where the supply component contribution by this
consortium, a partner or sole tenderer to the project has been for EUR 45
000.
Failure to comply with 1 or more of the above-mentioned selection criteria
will lead to the rejection of the tender.
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 an
undertaking on the part of those entities to place those resources at its
disposal. The written undertaking must be attached to the application and
must clearly bind sufficient resources of the entity/ies drawn upon at
least for the maximum period of implementation of the contract. Such
entities must respect the same rules of eligibility and notably that of
nationality, as the economic operator.
17. Award criteria: Price.
