If a tenderer will use the capacity of other companies to fulfil the requirements of relevant experience, these entities shall carry out the services or the building and construction work that requires such qualifications.
Several tenderers can participate in the competition jointly. The community must see to the necessary documentation that all the qualification requirements are met. The contracting authority will assess each individual supplier in the community against the provisions on rejection, cf. § 9-5 and § 24-2, this except the provision in § 9-5 (1) letter a) and § 24-2 (1) letter a) fulfilment of the qualification requirements, which will be applied to the jointly combined set. Tenderers who participate as a working partnership will be assessed collectively for the qualification requirements, with the exception of the requirements for the tenderer's organisational and legal position, documentation for absence of rejection reasons, tax certificates and authority for information on tax and duties (OSA). Documentation requirement: Tenderers shall confirm that they fulfil this requirement when submitting their tender. In addition, each individual entity in the (work) group shall submit separate ESPD forms when submitting a tender. Tenderers shall, upon request from the contracting authority, present the following documentation: • An account of the group (including the individual participants ́ role), each participant ́s organisation number, address and nationality. • The same documentation as individual tenderers shall be provided for each individual tenderer who participate in the group. • Declaration of joint and several liability to the contracting authority.

The community of suppliers can, if necessary, rely on other entities to fulfil the qualification requirements, see the point on support from other companies to fulfil the qualification requirements. The contracting authority requires that the tenderer who fulfils the requirements for relevant experience shall carry out the services or the building and construction work that requires such qualifications.
A tenderer who is newly established and cannot present all the required documentation must be particularly careful to document and substantiate that they still have the prerequisites required to fulfil the contract. It is particularly important that such tenderers can document a sufficiently large workforce for the execution of the contract, including technical and professional qualifications. Newly established tenderers emphasise that it is the tenderer's ability as such to carry out the contract that is assessed, not individual persons ́ competence in isolation. If a newly established tenderer has experience from contracts, the most relevant contracts from which the tenderer has experience must be completed in accordance with the documentation requirements regarding relevant experience. This is even if the contracts are of such a nature that they do not fulfil the specified requirements. Missing or inadequate documentation in one or more of the requirements can result in the tenderer being rejected. Insufficient or incorrect completed response form can also lead to rejection. Tenderers who have established themselves within a new discipline can also be seen as newly established.
The European Self-Declaration Form (ESPD) Tenderer shall submit the European Self-Declaration Form (ESPD) together with the tender. The provisions on rejection due to conditions at the tenderer are stated in the procurement regulations § 24-2. The European Self-Declaration Form (ESPD) applies as provisional documentation, among other things, so that there are no such reasons for rejection. Further documentation requirements for absence of rejection reasons are in the procurement regulations § 24-7, possibly also § 24-5 (1) if documentation of such measures is relevant. The documentation shall be submitted in accordance with the communication terms stated in chapter B1 and in accordance with the deadline set by the Contracting Authority, in the event that the Contracting Authority requires this. The certificates mentioned in § 24-7 (1) letter a) and b) must not be older than 6 months calculated from the deadline for submitting a request for participation in the competition or a tender. If the necessary certificates/documents for documenting the absence of rejection reasons are not issued in the tenderer's home country or the country where they are established, or if they do not cover all the rejection reasons mentioned in the procurement regulations § 24-2 (1) letter b, (2) and (3) letters a and b, the completed ESPD form applies as documentation for these conditions. The contracting authority will be able to conduct separate surveys related to the tenderer's activities, including participants in a supplier partnership and supported entities to the tenderer, as well as other conditions that are relevant to assess whether the tenderer can be qualified.
Tenderers shall, upon request by the contracting authority, submit a tax certificate for VAT and tax certificates issued by a competent body in the tenderer's home country or the country where the tenderer is established. The certificate shall document whether the tenderer has fulfilled his obligations to pay taxes, duties and social security contributions. The certificate must not be older than 6 months calculated from the deadline for submitting a request for participation in the competition or a tender.
