21.Selection criteriaThe following selection criteria will be applied to candidates. In the case of applications submitted by a consortium, these selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole unless specified otherwise. The selection criteria will not be applied to natural persons and single-member companies when they are subcontractors.1) Economic and financial capacity of candidate (based on Item 3 of the application form). In case of candidate being a public body, equivalent information should be provided. The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years for which accounts have been closed.Criteria for legal and natural persons:— the average annual turnover of the candidate must exceed the annualised maximum budget of the contract (i.e 132 000 EUR) for the last 3 years for which accounts has been closed, and— current ratio (current assets / current liabilities) in the last year for which accounts have been closed must be at least 1. In case of a consortium this criterion must be fulfilled by each member.2) Professional capacity of candidate (based on Items 4 and 5 of the application form). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years from submission deadline.Criteria for legal and natural persons:— at least 1 staff currently works for the candidate in fields related to this contract, ie. Technical capacity and capacity building to public administration in developing countries.3) Technical capacity of candidate (based on Items 5 and 6 of the application form). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 5 years from submission deadline.Criterion for legal and natural persons:The candidate has provided services under— at least 1 contract with a budget of at least that of this contract, and— in the field of Technical capacity and capacity building to public administration in developing countries, and— which was implemented at any moment during the reference period: past 5 years from the submission deadline.This means that the project the candidate refers to could have been started or completed at any time during the indicated period but it does not necessarily have to be started and completed during that period, nor implemented during the entire period.Candidates / tenderers are allowed to refer either to projects completed within the reference period (although started earlier) or to projects not yet completed.In the first case the project will be considered in its whole if proper evidence of performance is provided (statement or certificate from the entity which awarded the contract, proof of final payment).In case of projects still on-going only the portion satisfactorily completed during the reference period although started earlier will be taken into consideration. This portion will have to be supported by documentary evidence (similarly to projects completed) also detailing its value. If a candidate / tenderer has implemented the project in a consortium, the percentage that the candidate / tenderer has successfully completed must be clear from the documentary evidence, together with a description of the nature of the services provided if the selection criteria relating to the pertinence of the experience have been used.Previous experience which caused breach of contract and termination by a Contracting Authority shall not be used as 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 with them. It must in that case prove to the Contracting Authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for performance of the contract, for example by producing a commitment on the part of those entities to place those resources at its disposal. Such entities, for instance the parent company of the economic operator, must respect the same rules of eligibility — notably that of nationality — and must fulfil the same relevant selection criteria as the economic operator. With regard to technical and professional criteria, an economic operator may only rely on the capacities of other entities where the latter will perform the works or services for which these capacities are required. With regard to economic and financial criteria, the entities upon whose capacity the tenderer relies, become jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract.If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the above selection criteria, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the applications of these candidates must be reexamined to identify the 8 best candidates. The only factors which will be taken into consideration during this reexamination are:— the highest number of projects in Criteria 3 — Technical capacity of the candidate, and— preference will be given to candidates who have experience in Pacific Region.
