In the case of applications submitted by a consortium, these selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole if not specified otherwise. The selection criteria will not be applied to natural persons and single-member companies when they are sub-contractors.

The minimum value of services provided by the candidate in each reference supervision contract shall be 500 000 EUR;
and reference projects have to be confirmed by adequate documents confirming completion and acceptance of the services and have to be implemented at any moment during the reference period. The service/works contract the candidate refers to could have been implemented at any moment during the reference period, meaning that the project referred to could have been started/completed at any time during the indicated period but it does not have to be started and completed during that period, nor implemented during the entire period. Tenderers are allowed to refer either to projects completed within the reference period (although started earlier) or to projects not yet completed.

The same rules of eligibility and the same selection criteria apply to those entities as for the economic operator relying on them for which the economic operator relies on them.
