Tenders can be submitted by consortia of 2 or more economic operators ('joint tender'). Each legal entity will be required to sign the contract in the case of award, and shall assume joint and several liability towards the contracting authority for the fulfilment of the terms and conditions of the contract.

 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. Any change in subcontracting during the procurement procedure may lead to the rejection of the corresponding tender.
