## 3.2 Selection criteria 

Tenderers must prove their legal, regulatory, economic, financial, technical and professional capacity to carry out the work subject to this procurement procedure. 

The tenderer may rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links which it has with them. It must in that case prove to ECDC that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for performance of the contract, for example by producing an undertaking on the part of those entities to place those resources at its disposal. 

The tender must include the proportion of the contract that the tenderer intends to subcontract. 

## 3.2.1 Declaration and evidence 

The tenderers (and each member of the group in case of joint tender) and subcontractors whose capacity is necessary to fulfil the selection criteria must provide the declaration on honour (see section 4. Annexes), signed and dated by an authorised representative, stating that they fulfil the selection criteria applicable to them individually. For the criteria applicable to the tenderer as a whole the tenderer (sole tenderer or leader in case of joint tender) must provide the declaration on honour stating that the tenderer, including all members of the group in case of joint tender and including subcontractors if applicable, fulfils the selection criteria for which a consolidated assessment will be carried out. 

This declaration is part of the declaration used for exclusion criteria (see section 3.3.2 Award criteria) so only one declaration covering both aspects should be provided by each concerned entity. 

The tenderers are also required to provide the evidence mentioned below. This requirement applies to each member of the group in case of joint tender and to subcontractors whose capacity is necessary to fulfil the selection criteria. 

A tenderer (or a member of the group in case of joint tender, or a subcontractor) is not required to submit the documentary evidence if it has already been submitted for another procurement procedure and provided the documents were issued not more than one year before the date of their request by ECDC and are still valid at that date. In such cases, the tenderer must declare on its honour that the documentary evidence has already been provided in a previous procurement procedure, indicate the reference of the procedure and confirm that that there has been no change in its situation.

## 3.2.2 Legal and regulatory capacity 

Tenderers must prove that they are allowed to pursue the professional activity necessary to carry out the work subject to this call for tenders.

Any delegation of this authorisation to another representative not indicated in the official appointment must be evidenced.
