Framework Agreement for IT Small Parts and Accessories

Total turnover including turnover in the field of activity of the contract: [turnover figures (eAllocation criterion 1.1.2.1.2.1)] The query of the turnover figures in the e-procurement must be answered accordingly and, in addition, in the case of a bidding group or the use of privileged subcontractors, the corresponding information for the other companies.

The information shall be checked to ensure that the average turnover in the field of activity of the contract for the last three financial years indicated is at least the following: Lot 1 - IT small parts Hardware products: € 6 million If this information does not reach the required minimum value, a positive forecast that the bidder has the necessary economic and financial capacity for the execution of the contract cannot be made; the offer is then necessarily excluded from the procedure.

For groupings of bidders and for the use of privileged subcontractors, the turnover ratios of the members of the grouping of bidders or of the privileged subcontractors and of the bidder shall be added. A tenderer shall be deemed to be capable of performing in this sense only if it meets the minimum criteria of economic and financial capacity. The contracting entity and the contracting entity reserve the right to request further information or evidence from a tenderer at any time in order to verify its information.

References: [Interpretation of the APPENDIX Reference Description] At least one comparable reference project which has been successfully completed in the last three years (from or until the offer deadline) shall be provided. For this purpose, the APPENDIX reference description must be completed in full (possibly several times for naming several reference projects) with the offer.

A reference project is then comparable to the object of the contract if it substantially corresponds to the framework conditions resulting from the specification of services (part B of the award documents) (type of service, contract duration, technical environment, etc.) and if it covers a comparable order volume of min. €1 million annually.

A reference project is deemed to be successfully completed if it ran for at least 6 months after the above-mentioned deadline until the end of the offer period and has now been successfully completed – i.e. not ended early – or if the project is currently still running and has started at least 6 months ago (also counted from or until the offer period) The decisive factor is the end of the tender period.

Should the deadlines be postponed, the end of the actual offer period always applies and the above mentioned deadlines are postponed accordingly. If the assessment of the reference description in accordance with the APPENDIX Reference Description does not make it possible to forecast that the tenderer will perform the contract in a technically sound and timely manner, the capacity shall be denied and the tender shall be excluded from the further evaluation.

Only what is explicitly described in the APPENDIX Reference Description Form can be taken into account in the assessment. For groupings of tenderers and for the use of privileged subcontractors, the submitted references shall be considered as a whole. A tenderer shall be deemed to be capable of performing for that purpose only if he fulfils the minimum criteria of technical and professional capacity.
