10.Additional servicesThe contracting authority may, at its own discretion, extend the project duration and/or contract scope subject to availability of funding up to an estimated amount of approximately 500 000 EUR. Any extension of the contract will be subject to satisfactory performance of the tasks by the contractor.

11.EligibilityParticipation in the contract is open on equal terms to natural persons and legal entities participating either individually or as part of a grouping — consortium — of tenderers that are established in one of the Member States of the European Union, an ACP State or in a country or territory authorised by the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement, under which the programme is financed (see also point 29 below). 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. If this access is not provided for by the legal provisions in force at the time of award of the contract, United Kingdom applicants and tenderers may be excluded from the procurement procedure.

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.

13.Number of applicationsNatural persons or legal entities may submit one application only, irrespective of whether they take part as a sole legal entity, or as a lead company or member of a consortium submitting an application. Should a natural person or legal entity submit more than one application, all the applications involving the said party will be disqualified.

14.Prohibition on alliances between shortlisted tenderers.Tenders which include companies not mentioned on the application forms used to compile the shortlist will be disqualified from this restricted procedure unless prior approval from the contracting authority has been obtained (see section 2.6.3 of the Practical Guide). Candidates invited to tender may not form alliances or subcontract to each other for the contract in question.

15.Grounds for exclusionAs part of the application form, candidates must submit a signed declaration, included in the standard application form, to the effect that they are not in any of the exclusion situations described in section 2.6.10.1 of the Practical Guide.Candidates included in the lists of EU restrictive measures (see Section 2.4. of the PRAG) at the moment of the award decision cannot be awarded the contract.

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:— the average annual turnover of the candidate must exceed 850 000 EUR,— 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 1.2) 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:— at least 10 of the candidate"s permanent staff must currently be working in fields related to this contract.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.The candidate has provided services under at least 5 contracts, with a minimum amount per contract of 100 000 EUR in the following fields: technical studies of solar power plants (independent of technology) with a minimum capacity of 10 MWp connected to the interconnected grid that have been carried out at any time during the reference period.This means that the project the candidate refers to could have been started or completed at any time during the period given. However, it need not necessarily have been completed during this period, or have been performed during the whole of said period. Candidates may refer to either a project completed during the reference period (although started before this period), or part of a contract that has not yet been fully performed. In the first case, the project will be considered in its entirety, subject to proof that it was performed satisfactorily (declaration from the relevant contractingauthority, final proof of payment). In the second scenario, only the part of the contract properly undertaken during the reference period (even if it was started before) will be taken into consideration, to the extent that documentary proof of the satisfactory performance of the same are submitted (the same as for completed projects). These documents must enable the determination of the value of the portion of the contract referred to. Should the project referred to have been implemented by a consortium, in the event that a selection criterion relating to the relevance of the experience was used, the supporting documentsmust clearly show the proportion completed by the candidate, as well as a description of the nature of the services provided. Documentary evidence is not required at the application stage, but will be requested with the invitation to tender.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 party entity/these third party 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:1) the highest number of projects that meet criterion 3;2) the highest cumulative value of projects that meet additional criterion 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.

23.Deadline for receipt of applicationsThe candidate’s attention is drawn to the fact that there are 2 different systems for sending the application: by post or by courier service, or delivered by hand.In the first case, the application must be sent before the deadline for submission, the postmark or deposit receipt being proof (1), and in the second case, the acknowledgement of receipt given at the time of delivery of the application will serve as proof.Monday 12.8.2019 at 12:00, local time.Applications submitted to the contracting authority after the deadline will not be considered.The contracting authority may, for reasons of administrative efficiency, reject any application submitted on time to the postal service but received, for reasons beyond its control, after the effective date of approval of the pre-selection report, if the fact of accepting applications submitted in time but arriving late may excessively delay the evaluation process, or call into question decisions already taken and communicated.(1) The use of registered mail is recommended in case the postmark is not readable.
