Subcontractors
Question
With reference to the documents which need to be provided in case of subcontracting, our understanding is: a) Subcontractors should be identified in the Request to participate form only in case that the share of the subcontractor is 10% or more. Can you please confirm our understanding or else specify further? b) The applicable administrative documents for Subcontractors are a legal entity form and the Declaration on Honour. No further documents i.e. a Letter of Intent or something similar is needed. Can you please confirm our understanding or else specify further?

a) Yes, we confirm your understanding. As indicated in the tender specifications point 4, "Tenderers must give an indication of the tasks that they intend to subcontract and are required to identify all subcontractors whose share of the contract is above 10%". b) The applicable administrative document for subcontractors is the declaration on honour, as indicated in the tender specifications point 5.2 "The declaration on honour shall be provided by each member of the group in case of joint tenders... and by all identified subcontractors whose share of the contract is above 10%". However, "If the subcontractors' capacity is necessary to fulfil the selection criteria applicable to tenderers, they shall submit the relevant documentary evidence" (point 4.2 of tender specifications). Furthermore, according to point 5.3 of tender specifications "If a tenderer is relying on the capacities of other entities (e.g. parent company, other company in the same group, or third party) in order to achieve the required minimum level of the capacity, its request to participate must contain a signed and dated statement by the concerned entity which clearly confirms which relevant resources shall be placed at the disposal of the tenderer for the performance of this contract". "Third party" concerns subcontractors as well.
