a grouping (consortium) of tenderers) from the ACP countries or the EU
Member States who contribute to the European Development Fund, and to
international organisations authorised by the specific instruments
applicable to the programme under which the contract is financed (see also
point 22). All the goods supplied under this contract must originate in
these countries.
9. Grounds for exclusion: Tenderers must submit a declaration stating
that they are not in any of the situations referred to in section 2.3.3 of
the Practical Guide to contract procedures for EC external actions.
10. Number of tenders: Tenderers may only submit 1 tender per lot.
Tenders for part of a lot will not be considered. Tenderers may state in
their tenders whether they are prepared to grant a discount should their
tender be accepted for more than 1 lot. Tenderers cannot propose a variant
tender in addition to their tender for the supplies required in the
invitation to tender.
11. Tender guarantee: Tenderers must provide a tender guarantee for 2 %
of the tender value when they submit their tenders. The guarantee will be
returned to unsuccessful tenderers after the invitation to tender

contract has been signed by all parties. It will be drawn on if tenderers
do not comply with the obligations stated in the tender.

must furnish a performance bond for 5 % of the contract value. This
guarantee must be furnished within 30 days of the date on which he
receives the contract signed by the contracting authority. If the

time allowed, the contract will be considered null and void and a new
contract will be drawn up and sent to the tenderer who submitted the next
most suitable compliant tender.

Selection and award criteria
16. Selection criteria: The following selection criteria will be applied
to tenderers. Where tenders are submitted by a consortium, these criteria
will apply to the consortium as a whole.
(1) Tenderers' economic and financial capacity (based on point 3 of the
application form for a supplies contract):
tenderers' turnover in the past 2 years must have been at least twice the
value of the present contract.

application form for a supplies contract):
tenderers must have been awarded at least 2 contracts with a similar level
of technicality to this contract in the past 2 years.
(3) Technical capacity (based on points 5 and 6 of the application form
for a supplies contract):
economic operators may, where necessary and for a specific contract, make
use of the capacities of other bodies, irrespective of the legal nature of
the connection between themselves and said bodies. In such a case, they
must provide the contracting authority with proof that they will have the
resources needed to carry out the contract by, for example, producing a
signed commitment from said bodies to make such resources available. These
entities must respect the same eligibility rules as the economic operator,
particularly with regard to nationality.
17. Award criteria: Price (or, where appropriate, subject to prior
approval, the economically most advantageous tender with a suitable
service quality/price ratio).
