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). In the case of the tenderer being
a public body, equivalent information should be provided.
Legal persons:
(a) the annual turnover of the tenderer for the year 2008 must be at least
2 times of the submitted financial proposal (2007 is considered to be the
year before last year and 2008 is considered to be last year);
(b) the cash and cash equivalents of the tenderer at the end of years 2007
and 2008 are positive.
2) Technical capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 5 and 6 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
Legal persons:
(a) the tenderer has successfully completed at least 1 contract in the
field related to this contract (for lots 1–10 supply of laboratory
equipment; for lot 11 supply of laboratory furniture) with the budget of
at least half of his financial proposal for this tender in the years 2006,
2007 or 2008.
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. Such entities, for instance the parent company of the economic
operator, must respect the same rules of eligibility and notably that of
nationality, as the economic operator.
17. Award criteria: Price.
