21.Selection criteriaThe following selection criteria will apply to tenderers. Where applications are from a consortium, these criteria will apply to the consortium as a whole, unless stated otherwise. The selection criteria will apply neither to natural persons nor single-member companies working as subcontractors.1) Candidate"s economic and financial capacity (based on section 3 of the application form). Where the tenderer is a public body, equivalent information must be provided. The reference period that is taken into account will be the last 3 financial years for which closed accounts are available.Criteria for natural persons and legal entities— The average annual turnover for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 (this last year with accounts not necessarily audited) of the candidate must be higher than 452 640 EUR.2) Candidate"s professional capacity (based on sections 4 and 5 of the application form). The reference period that will be taken into account will be the last 3 years prior to the deadline for submission (2015, 2016 and 2017).Criteria for natural persons and legal entities— At least 4 employees must be currently working for the candidate in fields related to this contract,— At least 15 % of the staff who currently work for the candidate must be permanent employees.3) Candidate"s technical capacity (based on sections 5 and 6 of the application form). The reference period that will be taken into account will be the last 3 years prior to the deadline for submission (2015, 2016 and 2017).Criteria for natural persons and legal entitiesThe candidate has provided services under at least 2 contracts, each of which have a budget of at least 452 640 EUR, in fields and topics related to the scope of this contract, that were implemented any time during the reference period: from 2015 to 2017. This means that the project to which the candidate refers could have been started or completed at any time during the given period, but it does not necessarily have to be started or completed during that period, nor implemented during the entire period. Candidates or tenderers may refer to projects completed within the reference period (even though they may have begun earlier) or projects which are still ongoing. In the first case, the project will be viewed as a whole should proof of service provision be provided (declaration or certificate from the entity which awarded the contract, proof of final payment). In the event of ongoing projects, only the part which has been satisfactorily completed during the reference period will be taken into consideration (even if they had begun earlier). This part must be supported by documentary evidence (in a similar manner to the completed projects), with details of its value. Should a candidate or tenderer have undertaken the project as part of a consortium, the percentage that the candidate or tenderer successfully performed must be clearly stated in the documentary evidence, together with a description of the nature of the services provided, where the selection criteria with respect to relevance of practical experience were used.Prior experience involving a breach of contract and termination thereof by the contracting authority cannot be used as a reference.An economic operator may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links which it has therewith. In such an event, it must provide the contracting authority with evidence that it has the resources needed for the contract implementation, for example, by submitting an agreement from such entities to place said resources at its disposal. Such entities, e.g. the parent company of the economic operator, must comply with the same rules of eligibility, particularly those regarding nationality, and fulfil the same selection criteria as the economic operator. With regard to the technical and professional criteria, economic operators may rely on the capacities of other entities should the latter undertake the works or provide the services for which these capacities are necessary. With regard to the economic and financial criteria, the entities on whose capacities the tenderer will rely shall become jointly and severally liable for contract performance.Should more than 8 candidates prove to be eligible, i.e. meet all the aforementioned selection criteria, the respective strengths and weaknesses of their applications will be re-examined in order to select the 8 most suitable candidates. Only the following factors will be considered in this re-examination:— The higher number of contracts in the subject matter of this contract.If, after applying the previous factor, there were still more than 8 candidates, factor 2 will be applied in order to reduce the list to a maximum of 8:— Higher total accumulated amount of all contracts in the subject matter of this contract.
