We therefore ask you to confirm that our subsidiary has to be considered "third party involved in the execution of the contract" pursuant to article II.8.4 of the contract, and it is sufficient to indicate in the offer that the subsidiary is a “third party” as required by art. II.10.1 of the contract, without the need to produce documentation signed by the subsidiary legal representative.

I this case, the subsidiary, (if not directly member of a consortium tendering on the call for tender) has to be considered as subcontractor and the requirements for subcontractors are applicable. In case the subsidiary would be a consortium member, requirements for consortium members are applicable. For further information on consortium and subcontracting please refer also to the tender specifications and guidelines for tenderers.
