Participation is also open to international organisations.It should be stressed that, as from the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the Union, the rules on access to the Union"s procurement procedures for economic operators established in third countries will apply to candidates and tenderers from the United Kingdom, depending on the outcome of the negotiations.

12.ApplicationAny eligible natural person or legal entity (as defined in point 11 above) or grouping of said parties (consortium) may apply.A consortium may be a permanent, legally-established grouping or a grouping constituted informally for a specific tender procedure. All the members of a consortium (i.e. the lead company and all other members) will be jointly and severally liable vis-à-vis the contracting authority.Should an ineligible natural person or legal entity (as defined in point 11) take part, the application concerned will be automatically rejected. If said party belongs to a consortium, its disqualification will entail the disqualification of the consortium as a whole.

21.Selection criteriaThe following selection criteria will apply to candidates. Where applications are submitted by a consortium, the selection criteria will apply to the consortium as a whole, unless specifically stipulated otherwise. The selection criteria will not apply to natural persons and single-member companies working as subcontractors.1) Candidate"s economic and financial capacity (details to be given in section 3 of the application form). Should the candidate be a public body, equivalent information must be provided. The reference period taken into account will correspond to the last 3 financial years for which accounts have been closed.Criteria for legal entities and natural persons:— the average annual turnover over the last 3 years of the candidate or leader of a grouping of up to 3 members must be at least equal to: 350 000 000 F CFA,— the general liquidity ratio (short-term assets/short-term liabilities) for the past financial year for which accounts have been closed must be at least 1. In the case of a consortium, this criterion must be met by each of its members;2) Candidate"s professional capacity (details to be given in sections 4 and 5 of the application form). The reference period will cover the 3 financial periods prior to the submission deadline.Criteria for legal entities and natural persons:Reference criteria: at least 20% of the total permanent staff of the candidate(s) are currently working in fields of expertise related to this contract, with at least a road engineer and a geotechnician for each tendered lot;3) Candidate"s technical capacity (details to be given in sections 5 and 6 of the application form). The reference period will cover the 3 financial periods prior to the submission deadline.Criteria for legal entities and natural persons: reference criterion: the candidate has provided services, over the last 3 years, for at least 3 projects in the fields of expertise related to this contract, including at least 2 projects of similar nature and importance in sub-Saharan Africa.Similar importance means:— contracts of a similar nature (monitoring and supervision contracts) with a budget at least equivalent to that of this contract, or,— contracts where the budget is at least 2/3 of the budget of this contract.For which the duration of the contract and the complexity of services are at least equivalent to that of this contract (the type of road works being monitored: construction, rehabilitation, periodic maintenance of rural roads, and the length of the sections covered by the works).Any previous experience involving a breach of contract and termination by a contracting authority cannot be used as a reference.An economic operator may, if necessary and for a specific contract, make use of the capacities of other entities irrespective of the legal nature of the connection between itself and said entities. As an example, the contracting authority may consider it inappropriate if the tender relies, for the main part, on the capacities of other entities, or calls on them for key criteria. If the tenderer relies on the capacities of other entities, it must in this case provide the contracting authority with proof that it will have the resources needed to perform the contract by, for example, producing a written commitment undertaken by said entities to place such resources at its disposal. Such entities, e.g. the economic operator"s parent company, must observe the same eligibility rules — notably regarding nationality — and must meet the same selection criteria as those that the economic operator has met to prove its own capacities. Furthermore, the information relating to this third entity/these third entities for the relevant selection criteria must be included in a separate document. Proof of the capacity of this entity must also be furnished when requested by the contracting authority.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 the economic and financial criteria, the entities whose capacities the tenderer uses will become jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract.If more than 8 applications prove to be eligible, i.e. meet all the selection criteria, then the strengths and weaknesses of these candidates" applications will need to be re-examined to determine which 8 applications for the invitation to tender are the most suitable. The only additional comparative criteria which will be considered in this re-examination are, in order:— the highest number of projects that meet criterion 3.1,— the highest cumulative value of all projects that meet criterion 3.1.NB: an additional second comparison criterion will only be applied if the number of eligible applications remains above 8 after the application of the first additional comparison criterion.

22.Award criteriaThe best price-quality ratio.
