The procurement documents set specific selection criteria (economic/financial, professional, technical) that candidates must meet to be shortlisted. Award will be on the basis of best price-quality ratio. Additional comparative criteria will be used if more than eight candidates meet selection thresholds to rank requests to participate.

1. 1Economic and financial capacity: average annual turnover for the last three closed financial years must be at least €1,500,000. Current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) in the last closed year must be at least 1. In the case of consortia, this financial criterion must be fulfilled by each consortium member.

Candidates must not be subject to professional conflicting interests.

Additional comparative criteria for ranking (if >8 eligible):1) Highest number of contracts meeting technical capacity criterion regarding Southern Neighbourhood coverage. 2) Highest number of contracts meeting the broader technical capacity criterion for technical assistance services in support of civil society.

Evaluation process and stages

This is a two-stage restricted procedure:stage 1 is submission of request to participate where candidates are assessed against selection criteria; stage 2 invites shortlisted candidates (minimum 4, maximum 8) to submit full tenders evaluated on award criteria (best price-quality ratio).

Short-listing and Two-Stage Procedure

Based on requests to participate received, between 4 and 8 candidates will be invited to submit detailed tenders. If fewer than 4 eligible candidates meet the selection criteria, the contracting authority may invite those who satisfy the criteria to submit a tender. If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the criteria, they will be ranked using additional comparative criteria to identify the 8 best candidates.

Additional comparative criteria applied in order of priority are:(1) the highest number of contracts under which services have been completed that meet technical capacity criterion 3.4 (regional contracts in Southern Neighbourhood); (2) the highest number of contracts under which services have been completed that meet technical capacity criterion 3.3 (technical assistance services in support of civil society). Criterion 1 applies to all eligible candidates. Criterion 2 applies only to tied candidates for the 8th position if necessary.

Short-listed candidates may not form alliances or subcontract to each other for this contract. Any tenders received from tenderers with different composition than the short-listed request to participate forms will be excluded unless prior authorisation from the contracting authority is obtained.

Submission Requirements and Process

All requests to participate must be submitted exclusively via the EU Funding and Tenders Portal using the eSubmission system. Submissions made by email or letter will be disregarded. Candidates must register in the European Commission's Participant Register to obtain a Participant Identification Code (PIC), a 9-digit unique identifier. For consortia, each member must be registered in the Participant Register.

Requests to participate must be submitted using the official request to participate form available from the EXACT External Wiki.

After submitting a request to participate but before the deadline, candidates may withdraw or replace their submission. A withdrawal receipt will be provided as proof.

Sub-contracting and Capacity-Providing Entities

Sub-contracting is allowed. Economic operators may rely on the capacities of other entities (capacity-providing entities) regardless of the legal nature of links between them. These entities must respect the same eligibility rules and nationality requirements as the economic operator relying on them, and must fulfil the selection criteria for which they are relied upon.

For technical and professional criteria, an economic operator may only rely on other entities where those entities will perform the tasks for which the capacities are required. For economic and financial criteria, entities upon whose capacity the operator relies become jointly and severally liable for contract performance. Data for capacity-providing entities must be provided in separate documents, not included in the request to participate form.
