SELECTION CRITERIA
Capacity-providing entities
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 fulfil the selection criteria for which the economic operator relies on them. Furthermore, the data for this third entity for the relevant selection criterion should not be included in the request to participate form but 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 requests to participate submitted by a consortium, these selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole, unless specified otherwise. The selection criteria will not be applied to natural persons and single-member companies when they are sub-contractors.

Criterion 1: the candidate has, during the current year and the previous two years, on average, at least: 3 personnel directly employed or otherwise legally contracted on a permanent or non-permanent basis in areas of specialist knowledge related to this contract.
Criterion 2: the candidate is not subject to professional conflicting interests which may negatively affect contract performance.

3) Technical capacity (based on item 6 of the request to participate form for service contracts and on item 6 of the tender form for supply contracts).
Criterion:
The candidate has completed supplies under at least 2 contracts implemented at any moment

For each contract, the value of the supplies completed must not be less than 450,000 EUR.
The completed supplies are in the domain of screening and customs control equipment, i.e. detectors for drugs and controlled substances; or specialized screening and customs control tools for field missions and inspections; or non-intrusive inspection devices or tools for detecting hidden objects on individuals; or mobility and security support tools for customs inspectors and mobile teams; and supply of vehicles, and/or vehicles for transport and mobility of K-9 teams or vehicles designed for relocation of detained individuals and seized goods.
This means that the contract the candidate or tenderer refers to could have been implemented at any time during the indicated period but it does not necessarily have to be completed during that period, nor implemented during the entire period. Candidates or tenderers are allowed to refer either to projects completed within the reference period (although started earlier) or to projects partially implemented during, but not yet completed within the reference period. Only the part completed during the reference period will be taken into consideration. This part will have to be supported by documentary evidence (approval of report or deliverable, proof of payment, statement or certificate from the entity which awarded the contract) also detailing its value. If a candidate has implemented the project in a consortium, the part that the candidate has successfully completed must be clear from the documentary evidence (such as consortium agreement and bank transfers between consortium members), together with a description of the nature of the services provided/supplies delivered.
NOTE: In case a candidate submits offers for more than one lot, it must comply with the selection criteria cumulatively. For example, if a tenderer submits offers for lots 1 and 2, the tenderer’s average annual turnover of the last 3 financial years for which the accounts have been closed must be not less than 3,000,000 EUR.
