The attention of interested parties is drawn to the aim of this notice: the compilation of a list of candidates who could be invited to respond to a specific invitation to tender. This procedure cannot, in itself, lead to the award of a contract. The short list shall comprise from maximum 8 candidates. If the number of eligible candidates meeting the selection criteria is less than the minimum of 3 the contracting authority may invite the candidates who satisfy the criteria to submit a tender. If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the below 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 additional comparative criteria that which will be taken into consideration during this re-examination, in the order in which they appear below, are: 1. the highest number of projects that meet criterion C.1 2. the highest cumulated value of the projects that meet criterion C.1. N.B.: additional comparative criterion No. 1 shall be applied to all the eligible candidates that meet the selection criteria. If, after applying additional comparative criterion No. 1, it is not possible to identify the 8 best candidates because two or more candidates are tied for the 8th position, additional comparative criterion defined in item No 2. above shall be applied only to these tied candidates. No more than one request to participate or tender can be submitted by a natural or legal person whatever the form of participation (as an individual legal entity or as leader or partner of a consortium submitting a request to participate). In the event that a natural or legal person submits more than one request to participate, all requests to participate in which that person has participated will be excluded.

Notice
Criterion
:
References on specified services
Description
:
An economic operator (i.e. candidate or tenderer) 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. If the economic operator relies on other entities, it must in that case prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for the performance of the contract by producing a commitment by those entities to place those resources at its disposal. Such entities, for instance the parent company of the economic operator, must respect the same rules of eligibility and notably that of nationality as the economic operator relying on them and must comply with the selection criteria for which the economic operator relies on them. Furthermore, the data for this third entity for the relevant selection criterion should be included in a separate document. Proof of the capacity will also have to be provided 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 tasks for which these capacities are required. With regard to economic and financial criteria, the entities upon whose capacity the economic operator relies, become jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract. The following selection criteria will be applied to candidates. In the case of request to participate submitted by a consortium, these selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole if not specified otherwise. The selection criteria will not be applied to natural persons and single-member companies when they are sub-contractors. The candidate shall not use previous experience which caused breach of contract and termination by a contracting authority as a reference for selection criteria. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the case of request to participate submitted by a joint venture, all the members must satisfy collectively the criteria for economic, financial and professional capacity, for which purpose the relevant figures for each of the partners shall be added to arrive at the consortium’s total capacity, and the lead partner shall meet not less than 50 percent of all the qualifying criteria for financial and technical capacity. A substantially responsive request to participate is one that meets the requirements in the Contract Notice and the request to participate form without a material deviation or reservation or omission. A material deviation, reservation, or omission is one that: (a) if accepted, would: (i) affect in any substantial way the fair, impartial and equal evaluation of the candidates; or (ii) limit in any substantial way, inconsistent with the Contract Notice, the Contracting Authority’s rights and interests; or (b) if rectified, would unfairly affect the competitive position of other candidates presenting substantially responsive request to participate.
The criteria will be used to select the candidates to be invited for the second stage
of the procedure
Criterion
:
Other economic or financial requirements
Description
:
A. Economic and financial capacity (based on item 3 of the request to participate form). In case of candidate being a public body, equivalent information should be provided.

The average annual turnover of the candidate for the last three years for which accounts have been closed must exceed 500,000 EUR; and 2. Current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) in the last year for which accounts have been closed must be at least 1; in case of a consortium this criterion must be fulfilled by each member. Financial data to be provided by the candidate in the request to participate form must be expressed in EUR. If applicable, where a candidate refers to amounts originally expressed in a different currency, the conversion to EUR shall be made in accordance with the InforEuro exchange rate of July 2025, which can either correspond to the month and year of the publication of the present contract notice or the month and year corresponding to the deadline for submitting requests to participate, which can be found at the following address:
http://ec.europa.eu/budget/graphs/inforeuro.html.
The criteria will be used to select the candidates to be invited for the second stage
of the procedure

Description
:
C. Technical capacity (based on items 5 and 6 of the request to participate form for service contracts). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last five years from submission deadline. With reference to chapter 6 of the request to participate form, the Candidate has provided services under at least two contracts including (Note: the same reference contracts can be used for more criteria if they fulfil the requirements): 1. at least one of the two above requested contracts must include the supervision of works for water supply infrastructure or sewerage networks with a budget of at least 400,000 Euros exclusively for supervision services and implemented at any moment between 29/07/2020 and the submission deadline (copies of contracts and certificates of provisional acceptance must be submitted as supporting documents). The contract shall be successfully completed or ongoing (minimum level of completion of 60% calculated on the service contract value); 2. at least one of the two above requested contracts must have been implemented under FIDIC Book Conditions of Contract; 3. at least one of the two above requested contracts must include the construction supervision of a water supply network with at least 20 km; 4. at least one of the two above requested contracts must include construction or rehabilitation of water reservoir with a volume of minimum 200 m³; 5. at least one of the two above requested contracts must include construction or rehabilitation of a water supply pumping/booster station.
