The successful tenderer will be requested to provide the documents mentioned as supporting documents on selection criteria in the declaration on their honour and in this tender specifications before the signature of the contract and within a deadline given by the contracting authority. 

If a tenderer is relying on the capacities of other entities (e.g. parent company, other company in the same group, or third party) in order to achieve the required minimum level of the capacity, its request to participate must contain a signed and dated statement by the concerned entity which clearly confirms which relevant resources shall be placed at the disposal of the tenderer for the performance of this contract. The contracting authority will verify whether the entities on whose capacity the tenderer intends to rely fulfil the relevant selection criteria. The tenderer may only rely on the technical and professional capacities of other entities where the latter will perform the services or works for which these capacities are required. 

If an entity provides the whole or a very large part of the economic and financial capacity to the tenderer, the contracting authority may demand that the said entity be jointly liable for the performance of the contract in case of award. In order to do so, the contracting authority may require that this entity signs the contract or that it provides a joint and several first-demand guarantee, should that tenderer be awarded the contract. If this entity is required to sign the contract, it has to have access to public procurement and shall not be in an exclusion situation as indicated in point 5.1 and 5.2 of these tender specifications.
