The tenderer may refer to a part of a project /service contract which is not yet completed, but only in so far as that part is successfully completed and its date of completion, its value, and tenderer’s % contribution may be clearly identified and proven through adequate documentary evidence (such as certificates from the beneficiary). Where the projects referenced have been implemented by consortia comprising 2 or more of the members now associated as a consortium for this tender procedure, their respective percentages shall be added together, in order for the application to be assessed on the basis of the consortium as a whole. Previous experience which caused breach of contract and termination by a contracting authority shall not be used as reference. With regard to criteria relating to economic and financial standing and to criteria relating to technical and professional ability, an economic operator could, 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. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, 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 a commitment (refer to the letter of undertaking template) 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 - notably that of nationality – and must fulfil the same relevant selection criteria as the economic operator. The contracting authority shall verify whether there are grounds for exclusion. The contracting authority shall require that the economic operator replaces an entity which does not meet a relevant selection criterion, or in respect of which there are compulsory grounds for exclusion. The contracting authority may require that the economic operator substitutes an entity in respect of which there are non-compulsory grounds for exclusion. With regard to educational and professional criteria, an economic operator may only rely on the capacities of other entities where the latter will perform the services for which these capacities are required. With regard to economic and financial criteria, the entities upon whose capacity the tenderer relies become jointly liable for the execution of the contract. If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the above selection criteria, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the applications of these candidates must be re-examined to identify the eight best candidates. The only factor which will be taken into consideration during this re-examination is: 1) the highest number of projects in criteria 3.1 22. Award criteria Best price-quality ratio. APPLICATION 23.
