Only references with the required minimum commission value in the amount of EUR300,000 will be assessed.
Only references that have started and/or finished in the last three years will be assessed. If a reference fulfils both the criteria for the technical field and for the region/country, it will be used to assess both criteria.
Tenderers that fail to meet the specified criteria will be classed as technically ineligible and excluded from the remaining tender process.
Technical assessment – weighted criteria (see Section B of the assessment grid for the eligibility of tenderers)
A technical ranking on the basis of the assessment criteria listed below will be used to obtain the named number of 5 tenderers that will be requested to submit a tender. This will be applied in cases where more than 5 requests to participate that meet the above minimum requirements for tenderer eligibility have been received.
Only references that have the required minimum commission value of EUR300,000 will be assessed.
