A list of at least 3 (three) projects/contracts in the area of climate resilience of a minimum value of EUR 150,000 each, awarded to the tenderer over the last three years preceding the deadline for submission of tenders. The list shall include details of the project/contract start and end dates, the total value, a brief description of the services provided, the roles and responsibilities of the various entities involved, and the type of recipients of the services (i.e. public or private entity, EU bodies, government agencies, or well-known organisations). The project/contract should be construed as: i) a direct contract; ii) a single specific contract implementing a framework contract; or iii) a bundle of specific contracts implementing a framework contract in case each specific contract is of a value below the threshold set in the technical specifications. Tenderers shall note that to meet the requirements specified for this selection criterion, a specific contract implementing a framework contract may be counted only once, which means that when several specific contracts are consolidated together into one project/contract, the same specific contracts may not be referred to again in relation to another consolidated project/contract. Framework contracts that have not been implemented yet, or at all, cannot be used as evidence of past experience. Any reference in this paragraph to 'contract' shall also be understood as a reference to 'grant agreements'. To be considered relevant, the projects/contracts must collectively demonstrate the tenderer's experience and expertise in carrying out tasks similar to those listed in section 1.3 above. Where the projects/contracts have been performed by a consortium or other grouping of economic operators, the value taken into account shall be limited to the share of the project/contract performed by the tenderer itself. In case of projects/contracts still ongoing, only the portion completed during the reference period will be taken into consideration.
