Tenderers may rely on the education and professional experience of free-lance experts to meet the minimum requirements of the selection criteria. For the purposes of the tender and the performance of the contract, free-lance experts are considered as subcontractors. Sections 13 and 22 of the Annex A – Tender Specifications list all documents that need to be provided in case of subcontracting, namely, a letter of intent for all identified subcontractors (Form A.6), plus a Legal Entity Form (including supporting documents) and a signed declaration on honour on exclusion and selection criteria for those identified subcontractors whose intended share of the contract is above 10% of the total contract value.
