Eligibility requirements: Tenderers are registered in a company register or a trade register in the member state in which the tenderer is established. As described in annex XI of directive 2014/24/EU; suppliers from certain member states may have to fulfil other requirements in the mentioned annex.
Regarding any other economic and financial requirements that have been stated in the notice or in the procurement documents, the tenderer declares that:
Minimum qualification requirements
Tenderers must have sufficient economic and financial capacity to be able to fulfil the contract. Creditworthiness with no requirement for collateral will be sufficient to meet the requirement. 
The contracting authority will evaluate the tenderer's fulfilment of the requirement in the following manner:

- A credit rating based on the most recent financial figures. The rating shall be carried out by a credit rating company with licence to conduct this service.
- The credit rating shall have a minimum rating of creditworthy. 
- Newly established companies, or companies that are rated lower than credit worthy, can instead submit a parent company guarantee or a bank guarantee that can document sufficient economic and financial capacity to fulfil the contract obligations. 
- If a parent company guarantee is submitted, the parent company will be rated in an equivalent way so the requirement for creditworthiness thus applies to the parent company. See the annex parent company guarantee.
If a tenderer has a justifiable reason for not submitting the documentation required by the contracting authority, he can document his economic and financial capacity by presenting any other document that the Contracting Authority deems appropriate.
Only for public goods deliveries: In the reference period, the tenderer has carried out the following important deliveries of the requested type, or the following important services of the requested type. The contracting authority can require up to three years experience and allow experience from the previous three years to be taken into consideration.
Minimum qualification requirements
Tenderers shall have experience from comparable contracts. Documented by a description of the tenderer ́s up to 3 most relevant assignments in the course of the last 3 years. The description must include a statement of the contract ́s value, date and recipient (name, telephone number and e-mail address). It is the tenderer ́s responsibility to document relevance through the description. Tenderers can document their experience by referring to competence of the personnel he has at his disposal and can use this assignment, even if the experience has been worked up while the personnel have served another service provider.
Is the tenderer able to submit certificates issued by independent bodies as documentation that the tenderer fulfils the stated environmental management systems or standards?
Minimum qualification requirements
