of tenderers of the Member States and the countries and territories of the
regions covered and/or authorised by the regulations on access to
Community external assistance and other specific instruments applicable to
the programme under which the contract is financed (see also point 22

by the specific instruments applicable to the programme under which the
contract is financed.
9. Grounds for exclusion: Tenderers must submit a signed declaration,
included in the tender form for a supply contract, to the effect that they
are not in any of the situations listed in point 2.3.3 of the 'Practical
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. 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 8 000 for lot 1;
EUR 700 for lot 2;
EUR 700 for lot 3;

This guarantee will be released to unsuccessful tenderers once the tender

upon if the tenderer does not fulfil all obligations stated in its tender.
12. Performance guarantee: The successful tenderer will be asked to

the tender form for a supply contract):
(a) the average annual turnover of the tenderer for the last year must be
at least 2 times the submitted financial proposal;

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. Under the same conditions, a consortium of economic operators
