2007–2013' and go to 'Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (Council
Regulation (EC) No 1085/2006 — OJ L 210/82 of 31.7.2006)').
All goods supplied under this contract must originate in one or more of
these countries with a possibility of exception to lot 3 only, if the same
is not possible to be available for procurement with eligible origin.
Participation is also open to international organisations. Participation
of natural persons is directly governed 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. 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 1 360
EUR for lot 1, 370 EUR for lot 2, 720 EUR for lot 3 and 500 EUR for lot 4
when submitting their tender. This guarantee will be released to
unsuccessful tenderers once the tender procedure has been completed and to
the successful tenderer(s) upon signature of the contract by all parties.
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
tenderer receives the contract signed by the contracting authority. If the
selected tenderer fails to provide such a guarantee within this period,
the contract will be void and a new contract may be drawn up and sent to
the tenderer which has submitted the next cheapest compliant tender.
13. Information meeting and/or site visit: No information meeting is
planned.
14. Tender validity: Tenders must remain valid for a period of 90 days
after the deadline for submission of tenders.

until the provisional acceptance (for lot 1, lot 2 and lot 3), 120 days
from contract signature until the provisional acceptance (for lot 4).
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:
(a) The annual turnover of the tenderer for each of the last 2 years
(2007, 2008) must exceed his total financial proposal for all lots offered
under this tender.
2) Professional capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 4 and 5 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
(a) The tenderer has a minimum of 3 staff employed on a permanent basis.
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 successfully completed at least 1 contract of a total
price amounting to a minimum of 80 % of his total financial proposal for
the lots offered, within the last 36 months before the launch of this
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. 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.
