Section III: Legal, economic, financial and technical information
III.1)Conditions relating to the contract
III.1.1)Deposits and guarantees required:
See tender documents.
III.1.2)Main financing conditions and payment arrangements and/or reference to the relevant provisions governing them:
See tender documents.
III.1.3)Legal form to be taken by the group of economic operators to whom the contract is to be awarded:
Economic operators may submit a tender as an individual or a member of a temporary grouping of companies (with or without a legal personality). Subcontracting is permitted in both cases. The tenderer must clearly state the role of each economic operator — an individual tenderer, a grouping member or a subcontractor. This also applies if the economic operators involved belong to said group/consortium/association.
All grouping members shall be jointly and severally liable vis-à-vis the contracting authority for contract performance and, if awarded the contract, will be required to sign it. The grouping must identify a sole representative with the authority to represent both the grouping and each of its members during contract performance. Said representative shall also be responsible for the administrative management of the contract (receipt and processing of payments for the grouping, coordination for quality, environment and safety, etc.) on behalf of all other members.
Subcontracting is when the contractor has legal commitments with other economic operators that will perform a proportion of the activities under the contract in his name. However, the contractor retains full liability vis-à-vis the contracting authority for contract performance. Staff members identified as legal entities other than the contractor are considered as subcontractors, irrespective of relevant national legislation.
The tenderer must also identify all subcontractors whose capacities may be relied on in order meet the minimum level(s) of standards in points III.2.2 and III.2.3.
Each subcontractor must provide a letter of intent stating their willingness to participate in performance of the contract, as specified in the tender. During contract performance, any change of subcontractor shall be subject to the contracting authority's prior written approval.
The tenderer, either an individual or in a temporary grouping of companies, may also rely on the capacities of other economic entities in order to meet the minimum level(s) of standards required in points III.2.2 and III.2.3, regardless of the legal nature of the links he has with these entities. In that case, the tenderer must provide the contracting authority with evidence that he shall have the necessary resources to carry out the contract, for example, by providing a declaration of commitment from the entity on which he relies. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of a third party with a corporate name different to that of the tenderer, either an individual or in a temporary grouping of companies, this shall be considered as subcontracting for the purposes of this procedure, even though the tenderer and the third party form part of the group/consortium/association. Should the contract be awarded to a tenderer who relies on a third party to provide more than 70 % of the economic and financial capacities listed in point III.2.2, the contracting authority shall ask the third party to sign the contract, thereby becoming jointly and severally liable together with the tenderer for performance thereof.
The role and duties of each member of the temporary grouping of companies and each subcontractor identified for the purposes of this procedure must be clearly stated in the tender. The accompanying letter must state the name of the tenderer (including all members in the case of a temporary grouping of companies) and subcontractor(s), including third parties whose capacities the tenderer may rely on, as well as the name and references of a contact person for this procedure. In the case of a temporary grouping of companies, the accompanying letter must be signed by each member, or by 1 of them on the condition that said member is duly authorised to sign the tender and the contract in the name and on behalf of the other members. In this case, the authorisation may, for example, be in the form of a proxy, letter of intent or the memorandum of association of the temporary grouping of companies.
Tenderers (all members in the case of a temporary grouping of companies) must also submit a copy of the notice of nomination of the person authorised to represent the tenderer vis-à-vis third parties and during legal proceedings, or a copy of the publication of said nomination, if applicable legislation so requires. Any delegation of this authorisation to another representative not stated in the official nomination must be justified.
