Selection and award criteria

21.Selection criteria:
The 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:
1) Economic and financial standing of the candidate(s) (based on item 3 of the application form):
— the average annual turnover of the candidate must exceed 4 times the annualised maximum budget of the contract (i.e., the maximum budget stated in the procurement notice divided by the initial contract duration in years),
— and the averages of cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of year are positive.
2) Professional capacity of the candidate(s) (based on items 4 and 5 of the application form):
— the candidate has at least 10 staff currently working in water utility management; water utility audits (certifications); development of regulatory entities; institutional development; programme management, and
— at least 20 % of all staff working for the candidate this year in fields related to the present contract are permanent.
3) Technical capacity of candidate (based on items 5 and 6 of the application form):
— the candidate should have a demonstrated track record of expertise in water utility management, and (regulatory) audits in the European Union,
— the candidate should have a demonstrated track record in providing support to regulatory authorities,
— the candidate should have completed at least 1 project management contract with a value of at least EUR 1 000 000 in the last 3 years.
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 an undertaking on the part of those entities to place those resources at its disposal. Under the same conditions, a consortium of economic operators may rely on the capacities of members of the consortium or of other entities.
If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the above selection criteria, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the applications of these candidates must be re-examined to identify the 8 best applications for the tender procedure. The only factor which will be taken into consideration during this re-examination is:
— the comparison of projects completed in the fields mentioned in (3) above.
22.Award criteria:
As specified in the tender dossier annexed to the letter of invitation to tender which will be sent to shortlisted candidates.
