## 2.2 STRUCTURE OF THE TENDER 

Based on the e-Submission environment$^{3}$, all tenders must provide information and supporting documentation in three sections: 

1) Qualification - data and documentation; 

2) Tender offer - data and documentation. 

## 2.3 QUALIFICATION DATA 

## a) Identification of the Tenderer 

The tenderer must fill in all required fields in the qualification section. In case of a joint tender the consortium name has to be provided and an identification of every party in the consortium needs to be added. 

The following information should also be provided: 

## (i) Legal Entities 

In order to prove their legal capacity and their status, all tenderers and identified subcontractors must provide a Legal Entity Form with its supporting evidence. The Legal Entity Form needs to be signed by participating parties that are not signing the ‘ Tender Preparation Report’ . 

However, the subcontractor(s) shall not be required to fill in or provide those documents when the services represent less than 20% of the overall contract value. 

The Legal Entity Form can be generated via the e-Submission application. Alternatively, a standard template in each EU language is available at: 

http://ec.europa.eu/budget/contracts_grants/info_contracts/legal_entities/legal_entities_en.cfm 

Tenderers must provide the following information if it has not been included with the Legal Entity Form: 

 For legal persons , a legible copy of the notice of appointment of the persons authorised to represent the tenderer in dealings with third parties and in legal proceedings, or a copy of the publication of such appointment if the legislation, which applies to the legal entity concerned, requires such publication. Any delegation of this authorisation to another representative not indicated in the official appointment must be evidenced. 

 For natural persons , where applicable, a proof of registration on a professional or trade register or any other official document showing the registration number. 

## (ii) Financial identification 

The tenderer (or the single point of contact in case of joint tender) must provide a Financial Identification Form and supporting documents. Only one form per offer should be submitted (no form is needed for subcontractors and other joint tenderers). The form is available at:
