Selection and award criteria
16. Selection criteria: The following selection criteria will be applied
to tenderers. In the case of tenders submitted by a consortium, these
selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole:
1) Economic and financial capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. item 3 of
the tender form for a supply contract):
(a) the tenderer (i.e. the leader, in case of a tender from a consortium)
must have been an established company for at least 3 years. Tenderers
shall submit an authenticated commercial register certificate to be
obtained from the Commercial Register for companies registered in Lebanon
or equivalent certificates for companies registered outside Lebanon;
(b) the average annual turnover of the tenderer (i.e. the consortium as a
whole, in case of a tender from a consortium) in the past 3 years must
exceed twice the financial proposal of the tender. The qualifications of
subcontractors may not be added to those of the tenderer.
2) Professional capacity of tenderer (based on i.a. items 4 and 5 of the

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 an
undertaking on the part of those entities to place those resources at its
disposal. Such entities must respect the same rules of eligibility and
