tenderers must provide evidence that they meet the selection criteria.
This evidence must be provided by tenderers in the form of the information

and in whatever additional form tenderers may wish to utilise.
In the case of a tender submitted by a consortium, unless specified, these
selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole:
The selection criteria for each tenderer are as follows:
Economic and financial capacity of candidate:
— the average annual turnover of the tenderer in the past 3 years must be
at least 15 000 000 EUR,
— if it is the sole tenderer it must have access to sufficient credit and
other financial facilities to cover the required cash-flow for the
duration of the contract. In any case, the amount of credit available must
exceed the equivalent of 5 000 000 EUR,
— in the case of a joint venture, at least 1 member shall have at least 3
projects of an aggregate amount of at least 10 000 000 EUR.
Technical and professional capacity:
— it must have completed at least 5 projects of the same
nature/amount/complexity comparable to the works concerned by the tender
over the last 10 years. The contracting authority reserves the right to
ask for copies of the respective certificates of final acceptance signed
by the supervisors/contracting authority of the projects concerned,
— it must carry out at least 70 % of the contract works by own resources,
which means that it must have the equipment, materials, human and
financial resources necessary to enable it to carry out that percentage of
the contract,
— if it is the lead member of a joint venture/consortium, it must have the
ability to carry out at least 50 % of the contract works by its own means,

member) it must have the ability to carry out at least 10 % of the
contract works by its own means,
— all its key personnel must have at least 10 years' appropriate
experience and proven qualifications relevant to works of a similar nature
to this project.
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.
