are not in any of the situations listed in point 2.3.3 of the 'Practical
Guide to contract procedures for EC external actions'.
Tenderers and, if they are legal entities, persons who have powers of
representation, decision-making or control over them, are informed that,
should they be in one of the situations mentioned in:
— Commission Decision (2008/969/EC, Euratom) of 16.12.2008 on the Early
Warning System (EWS) for the use of authorising officers of the Commission
and the executive agencies (OJ L 344, 20.12.2008, p. 125),
— Commission Regulation (2008/1302/EC, Euratom) of 17.12.2008 on the
Central Exclusion Database — CED (OJ L 344, 20.12.2008, p. 12),
their personal details (name, given name if natural person, address, legal
form and name and given name of the person with powers of representation,
decision-making or control, if legal person) may be registered in the EWS
and CED, and communicated to the persons and entities listed in the
abovementioned Decision and Regulation, in relation to the award or the
execution of a procurement contract or a grant agreement or decision.
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 4 600
EUR for lot 2 and 8 800 EUR for lot 3 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.
15. Period of implementation of tasks: The implementation period will
last 97 days for lot 2 and 127 days for lot 3 starting from the day of
issuance of the commencement order and ending on the day of issuance of
the certificate of provisional acceptance. The implementation period will
include a delivery period of 60 days for both lots.
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 the year 2008 (2007 is
considered to be the year before last year and 2008 is considered to be
last year) must be at least 2 times the submitted financial proposal (if
the tenderer applies for more than 1 lot, the total offered price
(meaning, the total sum of offered prices stated in the tenderer's
declaration for all tendered lots) will be evaluated against the set
annual turnover);
(b) the cash and cash equivalents of the tenderer at the end of year 2007
and year 2008 were positive.
2) 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 in the
field related to this contract (supply of drug detection system if
applying for lot 2 and/or supply of laboratory equipment if applying for
lot 3) with the budget of at least that of his financial proposal for this
tender in 2006, 2007, 2008 or 2009 (all contracts referenced for year 2009
must have been completed by the deadline for submission of tenders).
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.
