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 past 2 years (2008 and 2009) of the
tenderer must exceed 50 % of the financial proposal for the tender for
each individual lot he is bidding.
Companies that have been operational for less than 2 years will have to

(2010) in fields related to this contract.
3) Technical capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 5 and 6 of the
tender form for a supply contract):

least 1 supply contract relating to delivery of laboratory instruments and
equipment with a budget of a minimum of 250 000 EUR (proportion carried

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.
