Participation is also open to international organisations. 

Economic operators, including each member of a joint tender, must confirm that the legal entity's headquarters (for legal persons) or domicile (for natural person) is in one of the abovementioned States and present the supporting evidence normally acceptable under their own law (for example, an extract from a trade register or companies' register). The evidence must contain the official registration number of the economic operator. 

Please be aware that after the UK's withdrawal from the EU, the rules of access to EU procurement procedures of economic operators established in third countries will apply to candidates or tenderers from the UK depending on the outcome of the negotiations. In case such access is not provided by legal provisions in force candidates or tenderers from the UK could be rejected from the procurement procedure. 

## Non-exclusion of economic operators 5.2. 

Tenderers who have access to public procurement are evaluated on the basis of the information provided in their tenders for exclusion criteria. 

Tenderers shall provide a "Declaration on Honour" on exclusion criteria and selection criteria (declaration on honour) duly filled in, signed and dated by their legally authorised representative. 

The declaration on honour shall be provided by each member of the group in case of joint tenders, by the entities on whose capacity it intends to rely and by all identified subcontractors. 

Upon request by the contracting authority, the tenderer, as well as other entities which provided the above mentioned declaration on honour, shall provide within a time limit defined by the contracting authority the evidence referred to in paragraph "Evidence upon request", to support the declaration on honour. In any case, this evidence shall be requested from the successful tenderer, including each member of the group in the case of a joint tender, to whom the contract is to be awarded, prior to the signature of the contract. 

The contracting authority may waive the obligation for a tenderer to submit the documentary evidence if it has already been submitted for a previous procurement procedure and provided the documents were issued not more than one year earlier and are still valid at the date of the request by the contracting authority. In such cases, the tenderer must declare on its honour that the documentary evidence has already been provided in a previous procurement procedure and confirm that there has been no change in the situation. 

The contracting authority may also waive the obligation for a candidate or tenderer to submit the documentary evidence if it can access it on a national database free of charge.
