Financial and economic capacity
Question
According to section 18.2 of the tender specifications, page 31, “In case of joint tenders the financial and economic capacity shall be evaluated as a whole”. We understand that in case a consortium member or subcontractor does not obtain a score of at least 4 points when calculating its financial feasibility, the financial capacity of the tenderer is not being necessarily affected, since the financial feasibility requirement will be evaluated as a whole. In other words, EMA will score the liquidity, solvency and profitability of the tenderer based on the consolidated numbers of the consortium members and subcontractors. Could you please confirm our understanding or clarify further?

Your understanding is partly correct. In case of joint tenders the financial and economic capacity is evaluated as a whole. Please note the evaluation of the financial and economic capacity of joint tenders is not based on consolidated financial figures but on individual assessments. The conclusion of the evaluation is then formed on the joint tenders as a whole.
