Participation is also open to international organisations.

All eligible natural and legal persons (as per item 4 above) or groupings of such persons (consortia) may apply.

A consortium may be a permanent, legally-established grouping or a grouping which has been constituted informally for a specific tender procedure. All partners of a consortium (i.e., the leader and all other partners) are jointly and severally liable to the contracting authority.

The participation of an ineligible natural or legal person will result in the automatic exclusion of that person. In particular, if that ineligible person belongs to a consortium, the whole consortium will be excluded.

III.1.2)Economic and financial standing

1) Economic and financial capacity (based on item 3 of supply tender form). In case of tenderer being a public body, equivalent information should be provided. The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 financial years for which accounts have been closed.

1.1) the average annual turnover of the tenderer for 2017, 2018, and 2019 must exceed EUR 1 000 000 each year; and

1.2) the current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) in the last year for which accounts have been closed must be at least 1. In case of a consortium, this criterion must be fulfilled by each member.

Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required:

2) Professional capacity (based on items 4 and 5 of the tender form for supply contracts). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years preceding the submission deadline.

2.1) experience during the past 3 years as manager/team-leader with a minimum of two collaborators in fields related to this contract;

2.2) at least three staff currently work for the tenderer in fields related to this contract;

3.1) the tenderer must have delivered supplies under at least one contract with a budget of at least EUR 1 000 000 in Information technology supply which were implemented during the following period: 2017- 2019; and

3.2) the tasks performed under such contract must cover all together the following elements: supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and training.

This means that the contract the tenderer refers to could have been started or completed at any time during the indicated period, but it does not necessarily have to be started and completed during that period, nor implemented during the entire period. Tenderers are allowed to refer either to projects completed within the reference period (although started earlier) or to projects not yet completed. In the first case the project will be considered in its whole if proper evidence of performance is provided (statement or certificate from the entity which awarded the contract, final acceptance). In case of projects still on-going only the portion satisfactorily completed during the reference period will be taken into consideration. This portion will have to be supported by documentary evidence (similarly to projects completed) also detailing its value.
