in a country or territory of the regions covered and/or authorised by the
specific instruments applicable to the programme under which the contract
is financed (see item 22 below) (http://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/work/
procedures/implementation/eligibility/documents/
a2_eligibilityprogrammes2007-2013_en.doc). All goods supplied under this
contract must originate in 1 or more of these countries. Participation is

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 3 000
EUR for lot 1, 1 400 EUR for lot 3, 2 000 EUR for lot 4, 900 EUR for lot 5
and 2 000 EUR for lot 6, when submitting their tender. No tender guarantee
shall be required for lot 2. If the company is bidding for more than 1
lot, he has to provide either a total of tender guarantee amount for the
relative lots or separate tender guarantees for each lot. 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 and/or
site visit is planned.
14. Tender validity: Tenders must remain valid for a period of 90 days
after the deadline for submission of tenders.
15. Period of implementation of tasks: The period of implementation of
the tasks is 180 calendar days for the supply, delivery, installation,
putting into operation, inspection and testing together with training of
supply from the commencement of the implementation period. Following the
mentioned tasks, 1 year for the warranty period will start from the
issuance of the provisional acceptance. Provisional acceptance shall be
completed within 60 calendar days, upon the submission of the request for
provisional acceptance by the supplier after the supply, delivery,
installation, putting into operation, inspection, testing and training
activities where applicable are completed.
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:
— the average annual turnover in the years 2007 and 2008 of the tenderer
must exceed the financial proposal of the tenderer.
Companies that have been operational for less than 3 years will have to
demonstrate an operational cash flow which must exceed their financial
proposal for the years in which they have been operational.
2) Professional capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 4 and 5 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
— the tenderer should have at least 2 staff working permanently in fields
related to the contract.
3) Technical capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 5 and 6 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
— for all lots, the tenderer should have completed at least 1 supply
contract including similar equipment with a budget of at least the
financial proposal of the tenderer for each lot in the years 2006, 2007,
2008 and this year (2009) until the submission deadline of this
application.
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.
