A list of the most important similar deliveries (references) to end users, cf. Section II.1.5), carried out within the past 5 (five) years prior to the deadline for the request to participate. Only the deliveries (references) to end users performed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate will be considered when assessing if the minimum requirement for suitability stated below is fulfilled/which candidate has documented the most relevant previous deliveries, cf. Section IV.1.2). If the delivery in question is ongoing, it is only the part of supplies carried out within the past 5 (five) years and completed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate which will be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Consequently, if a part of the supplies has not been carried out within the past 5 (five) years or if a part of the supplies has not been completed at the time of the deadline for the request to participate, this particular part will not be included in the assessment of the delivery (reference). Therefore, it is important that the candidate clearly states which part (e.g. with regards to quantity) of an ongoing delivery (reference) that has been carried out within the past 5 (five) years. The list should preferably include a short description of each delivery. The description of the deliveries should include a clear indication of which specific parts the deliveries are similar to the supplies, described in Section II.1.5. The description should also include a description of the candidates participation/role in the performance of the deliveries. The description should also contain information on the date of the deliveries, the quantity of the deliveries, the end user recipients of the deliveries, (specific names/countries are preferred, but not necessary; if no country specific information is included, the candidate is asked to provide as much generic information as possible about the delivery). When specifying the date for the deliveries, the candidate should state the date for the commencement and completion of the deliveries. If this is not possible, e.g. because the delivery in question is performed on an ongoing basis according to a Framework Agreement, the description of the deliveries should nonetheless contain information on how the date is set. Please note that a candidate may rely on the technical and professional capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a sub supplier), irrespective of the legal nature of the relations between the candidate and the entity or entities on which the candidate relies.
