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'.
The 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:
— the Commission Decision 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), or
— the Commission Regulation 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 persons with powers of representation,
decision-making or control, if legal person) may be registered in the EWS
only or both 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.
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 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: Period of implementation (equal to
the delivery period), from contract signature until the provisional
acceptance shall be 90 days.
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):
— the average annual turnover of the tenderer in the last 3 financial
years (2006, 2007 and 2008) must exceed 240 000 EUR.
2) Professional capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 4 and 5 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
— the tenderer must provide evidence of his, or the manufacturer's if the
tenderer is not the manufacturer, current quality management system
certificate according to ISO 9001 or national equivalent.
3) Technical capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 5 and 6 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
— the tenderer has completed at least 2 projects in the required fields of
supply described in Article 6, within the 3-year period prior to the
deadline for submission of the tenders (1.2.2007–1.2.2010) and where the
supply component contribution by the tenderer to each of the projects has
been in the value of or more than 75 000 EUR. The project is considered
completed if the provisional/final acceptance has been issued or final
payment has been received.
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. The verification of the eligibility
of the capacity providers will be done as laid down in Section 2.3 of the
'Practical Guide to contract procedures for EC external actions'
(http://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/work/procedures/implementation/
practical_guide/documents/2008new_prag_final_en.pdf), 'Eligibility
criteria and other essentials' and point 10 of the procurement notice.
17. Award criteria: The sole award criterion will be the price. The
contract will be awarded to the lowest compliant tender.
