Criterion 1: the highest number of contracts under which services have been completed that meet the technical capacity criterion.
Highest Cumulated Value of Completed Services: 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. Criterion 2: the highest cumulated value of completed services that meet the technical capacity criterion.
