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 and legal persons:(a) The candidate"s average annual turnover must be at least 1,5 times the annualised maximum budget of the contract, i.e. the maximum budget stated in the contract notice divided by the initial contract duration in years, where this exceeds 1 year; and(b) The current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) for the last year for which closed accounts are available must be at least 1. In the case of a consortium, all of its members must fulfil this criterion;(2) Candidate"s professional capacity (based on sections 4 and 5 of the application form). The reference period that is taken into account will be the last 3 years prior to the submission deadline.Criteria for natural and legal persons:(c) The candidate (or, in the case of a consortium, any of its members) must be specialised in the areas of international trade, regulatory market access or regional economic integration;(d) The candidate (or, in the case of a consortium, at least 1 of its members) must have ISO 9001 certification. A copy of the ISO 9001 certificate must be enclosed at this stage of the procedure;(e) In the past 3 years, at least an average of 10 % of the candidate"s staff must have been working in the areas related to the contract (management of experts, development cooperation, international consultancies, economic integration, international trade, strategic planning and public policy supervision);(3) Candidate"s technical capacity (based on sections 5 and 6 of the application form). The reference period that is taken into account will be the last 3 years prior to the submission deadline.Criteria for natural and legal persons:(f) The candidate has provided services in the framework of at least 6 contracts in the areas related to the regulatory market access, international trade or economic integration. At least 2 contracts must have a minimum budget of400 000 EUR. The contracts were implemented at any moment during the reference period.This means that the projects to which the candidate refers could have been started or completed at any time during the given period, but they do 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 contract performance, 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 only 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:(1) Experience with regional integration systems;(2) The highest value of projects under criterion (3)(f).
