and Member States of the European Union contributing to the European
Development Fund and international organisations as authorised by the
instrument applicable to the programme under which the contract is

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 1 % of
their financial offer 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 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

drawn up and sent to the tenderer which has submitted the next best
compliant tender.

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.e. item 3 of
the tender form for a supply contract):
— the average annual turnover of the tenderer must exceed the financial
proposal of the tender.
2) Professional capacity of tenderer (based on i.e. items 4 and 5 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
— the tenderer must provide evidence that it has sufficient ongoing staff
resources and expertise to be able to handle the proposed contract,
— has successfully performed at least 2 contracts similar in nature to the
proposed contract within the last 5 years,
— has a minimum of 10 staff employed.
3) Technical capacity of tenderer (based on i.e. items 5 and 6 of the
tender form for a supply contract):
— has sufficient expertise and experience to be able to handle the
proposed contract,
— the tenderer has successfully completed at least 2 contracts with a
budget of at least that of this contract in the past 5 years,
— the tenderer has worked successfully on at least 2 projects in fields
related to this contract in the past 5 years.
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 must respect the same rules of eligibility and
notably that of nationality, as the economic operator.
17. Award criteria: The sole award criterion shall be the price. The
contract will be awarded to the lowest compliant tender.
Furthermore, tenderers of ACP States who offer supplies of at least 50 %
in contract value of ACP origin shall be accorded a 15 % price preference
where tenders of equivalent economic, technical and administrative quality
are compared.
Moreover, where 2 tenders are acknowledged to be equivalent, preference
shall be given:
(a) to the tenderer of an ACP State; or
(b) if no such tender is forthcoming, to the tenderer who:
— allows for the best possible use of the physical and human resources of
the ACP States,
— offers the greatest subcontracting possibilities to ACP companies, firms
or natural persons, or
— is a consortium of natural persons, companies and firms from ACP States
and the Community.
