301 000 EUR.

The contracting authority may, at its own discretion, extend the project in duration and/or scope subject to the availability of funding up to the estimated amount of approximately 301 000 EUR. Any extension of the contract would be subject to satisfactory performance by the contractor.

Participation is open to all legal persons (participating either individually or in a grouping — consortium — of tenderers) which are established in a Member State of the European Union or in a country or territory of the regions covered and/or authorised by the specific instruments applicable to the programme under which the contract is financed (see item 29 below). Participation is also open to international organisations. Participation of natural persons is directly governed by the specific instruments applicable to the programme under which the contract is financed.

All eligible natural and legal persons (as per item 11 above) or groupings of such persons (consortia) may apply. 
A consortium may be a permanent, legally-established grouping or a grouping which has been constituted informally for a specific tender procedure. All members of a consortium (i.e., the leader and all other members) are jointly and severally liable to the contracting authority. 
The participation of an ineligible natural or legal person (as per item 11) will result in the automatic exclusion of that person. In particular, if that ineligible person belongs to a consortium, the whole consortium will be excluded.

No more than 1 application can be submitted by a natural or legal person whatever the form of participation (as an individual legal entity or as leader or member of a consortium submitting an application). In the event that a natural or legal person submits more than 1 application, all applications in which that person has participated will be excluded.

Any tenders received from tenderers comprising firms other than those mentioned in the shortlisted application forms will be excluded from this restricted tender procedure unless prior approval from the contracting authority has been obtained (see ‘Practical Guide’ — PRAG 2.4.3). Shortlisted candidates may not form alliances or subcontract to each other for the contract in question.

As part of the application form, candidates must submit a signed declaration, included in the standard application form, to the effect that they are not in any of the exclusion situations listed in Section 2.3.3 of the PRAG.

Subcontracting is allowed.

On the basis of the applications received, between 4 and 8 candidates will be invited to submit detailed tenders for this contract. If the number of eligible candidates meeting the selection criteria is less than the minimum of 4, the contracting authority may invite the candidates who satisfy the criteria to submit a tender.

April 2017.

September 2017.

The period of implementation of tasks will be 22 months from the commencement date of the contract.

The following selection criteria will be applied to candidates. In the case of applications 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 subcontractors. 
1) Economic and financial capacity of candidate (based on item 3 of the application form). In the case of the candidate being a public body, equivalent information should be provided. The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years for which accounts have been closed: 
Criteria for legal and natural persons:
a. the average annual turnover of the candidate in the reference period must have been at least 300 000 EUR; 
b. current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) in the last year must be at least 1 . In the case of a consortium this criterion must be fulfilled by each member. 
2) Professional capacity of candidate (based on items 4 and 5 of the application form). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years from the submission deadline: 
a. at least 3 permanent staff currently working for the candidate, in fields related to this contract; 
b. the candidate shall posses certificates ISO 20000-1, ISO 27001 or their equivalents issued by certified bodies.
3) Technical capacity of candidate (based on items 5 and 6 of the application form). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 5 years from the submission deadline (as indicated in point 23): 
a) the candidate has provided services under at least 2 individual contracts each with a candidate's proportion of the budget being at least 150 000 EUR, implemented within the 5-year period prior to the closing date of submission of the application (as indicated in point 23 of this contract notice), in the field of software development of integrated data systems. 
This means that the project the candidate refers to could have been started or completed at any time during the indicated period. Candidates/tenderers are allowed to refer either to projects completed within the reference period (although started earlier) or to projects not yet completed. In the first case the project will be considered in its whole if proper evidence of performance is provided (statement or certificate from the entity which awarded the contract, proof of final payment. In the case of projects still ongoing only the portion satisfactorily completed during the reference period although started earlier will be taken into consideration. This portion will have to be supported by documentary evidence (similarly to projects completed) also detailing its value. If a candidate/tenderer has implemented the project in a consortium, the percentage that the candidate/tenderer has successfully completed must be clear from the documentary evidence, together with a description of the nature of the services provided if the selection criteria relating to the pertinence of the experience have been used. However no documentary evidence has to be provided at this stage.
Previous experience which caused breach of contract and termination by a contracting authority shall not be used as reference. 
An economic operator 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. It must in that case prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for performance of the contract, for example by producing a commitment on the part of 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 — notably that of nationality — and must fulfil the same relevant selection criteria as the economic operator. 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 works or services for which these capacities are required. With regard to economic and financial criteria, the entities upon whose capacity the tenderer relies, become jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract. 
If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the above selection criteria, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the applications of these candidates must be reexamined to identify the 8 best candidates. The only factors which will be taken into consideration during this re-examination are: 
1. highest number of projects compliant with the requirements listed above in point 21.3; 
2. in the case where 2 or several applicants have the same number of projects (as per above criterion 21.3), the summarised value of the proportions implemented by the candidate in the respective projects will prevail. 
Note: (1) is applied firstly and then (2) is applied in the case where 2 or more candidates have the same number for (1). For transparency, candidates must also insert the numerical value in col. 4, Section 6 of the shortlist application for EU-funded service contract.
