Conditions for Participation

III.2.1)

Personal situation of economic operators, including requirements relating to enrolment on professional or trade registers


Candidates will be assessed in accordance with Regulations 23 to 26 of the Public Contract Regulations 2006 as amended and by articles 45 to 50 of Directives 2004/18/EC and on the basis of information provided in response to the pre –qualification questionnaire (“PQQ”) copies of which will be made available through the portal .Completed PQQs must be returned to the Council via the portal before the deadline specified in Section IV.3.4 below.

III.2.2)

Economic and financial capacity


The following minimum level should be satisfied by each interested service provider submitting a PQQ response:

— It should have a 3 year mean average turnover (based on information supplied in response to the PQQ) which is equal to or exceeds 3 times the estimated minimum annual contract value for the Service ("Turnover Threshold).

Interested service providers are directed to the information below regarding who is subject to these tests and how they are carried out, depending on whether the service provider is a single organisation or consortium.

For the avoidance of doubt where an interested service provider is constituted by way of:

— A single organisation, the single organisation must pass the Turnover Threshold.

— A single consortium (i.e. 2 or more persons, at least one of whom is an economic operator, acting jointly for the purpose of being awarded a public contract) the consortium must pass the Turnover Threshold. In order to calculate whether a consortium service provider passes the Turnover Threshold the 3 year mean average turnover for each consortium member (based on information supplied in response to the PQQ) will be calculated and for each consortium member the result will be multiplied by their (actual and anticipated) percentage equity stake (as identified in the response to the PQQ) in the legal entity to be formed to deliver the services under the Agreement and the totals will then be added together. It is this combined figure that will need to pass the Turnover Threshold .Each member of the consortium will on their own standing be required to pass all tests set down in Section E Economic and Financial Standing of the PQQ. Please see the PQQ for further information.



As stated in the PQQ which may be obtained using the guidance provided in section VI.3) below.

(c) An indication of the technicians or technical bodies involved, whether or not belonging directly to the economic operator's undertaking, especially those responsible for quality control and, in the case of public works contracts, those upon whom the contractor can call in order to carry out the work

(d) A description of the technical facilities and measures used by the supplier or service provider for ensuring quality and the undertaking's study and research facilities.
