## 3. ASSESSMENT AND AWARD OF THE CONTRACT 

The assessment will be based on each tenderer's bid. All the information will be assessed in light of the criteria set out in these specifications. The procedure for the award of the contract, which will concern only admissible bids, will be carried out in three successive stages. 

The aim of each of these stages is: 

1) to check on the basis of the exclusion criteria , whether tenderers can take part in the tendering procedure; 

2) to check on the basis of the selection criteria , the technical and professional capacity and economic and financial capacity of each tenderer; 

3) to assess on the basis of the award criteria each bid which has passed the exclusion and selection stages. 

Only tenders meeting the requirements of each stage will pass on to the next evaluation stage. 

## 3.1 EXCLUSION CRITERIA 

All tenderers shall provide a ‘declaration on their honour’ (see Annex II), stating that they are not in one of the situations of exclusion listed. 

The ‘declaration on honour’ is also required for identified subcontractors whose intended share of the contract is above 20%. 

The ‘declaration on honour’ has to be duly signed by parties that are not signing the Tender Preparation Report in e-Submission . 

The successful tenderer shall be asked to provide the actual documents mentioned as supporting evidence in Annex II before signature of the contract and within a deadline given by the contracting authority. This requirement applies to all members of the consortium in case of joint tender. 

## Remark : 

A tenderer may be waived of the obligation to submit the documentary evidence mentioned above if such evidence has already been submitted for the purposes of another procurement procedure launched by ENISA, provided that the documents are not more than one-year-old  starting from their issuing date and that they are still valid. In such a case, the tenderer shall declare on his/her honour that the documentary evidence has already been provided in a previous procurement procedure, specifying the reference of the call for tender for which the documents have been provided, and confirm that no changes in their situation has occurred. 

ENISA will also waive the obligation of the tenderer to submit the documentary evidence if it can access it on a national database free of charge.
