See the official notice for the place of performance.
Average Annual Turnover: Economic and financial capacity (based on item 3 of the request to participate form). In case the candidate or tenderer is a public body, equivalent information should be provided. The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last three years for which accounts have been closed. Criterion 1: average annual turnover – The candidate's or tenderer's average annual turnover of the last 3 financial years for which the accounts have been closed must be not less than 1,000,000 EUR.
Personnel: Professional capacity (based on items 4 and 5 of the request to participate form for service contracts). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years preceding the submission deadline. Criterion 1: the candidate or tenderer has, during the current year and the previous two years, on average, at least 10 personnel directly employed or otherwise legally contracted on a permanent or non-permanent basis in areas of specialist knowledge related to this contract.
Absence of Professional Conflicting Interests: Criterion 2: the candidate or tenderer is not subject to professional conflicting interests which may negatively affect contract performance. The presence of professional conflicting interests shall be examined on the basis of the statements made through the Declarations on Honour and, where applicable, the statements and other documents submitted.
Contracts Completed: Technical capacity (based on item 6 of the request to participate form for service contracts). Criterion: · The candidate or tenderer has completed services under at least 3 contracts implemented at any moment during the last five years before submission deadline. · For each contract, the value of the services completed must not be less than 600,000 EUR. · The completed services are in the domain of provision of technical assistance to strengthen development cooperation programmes of the European Union and/or any other development agency in priority areas and sectors that are included within the EU Global Gateway initiatives in Nepal and/or the EU Nepal MultiAnnual Indicative programme (MIP) 2021-27. 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.
If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the above selection criteria, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the request to participate of these candidates will be re-examined in order to rank them and identify the 8 best requests to participate for the tender procedure. The only additional comparative criteria that will be taken into consideration during this re-examination, in the order in which they appear below, are: · Criterion 1: the highest number of contracts under which services have been completed that meet the technical capacity criterion; · Criterion 2: the highest cumulated value of completed services that meet the technical capacity criterion. 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 No 2 shall be applied only to these tied candidates.
