Participation is open to all-natural persons and firms (participating either individually or in a grouping - consortium - of tenderers) originating from all countries of the world.
A consortium may be a permanent, legally-established grouping or a grouping which has been constituted informally for a specific tender procedure. All partners of a consortium (i.e., the leader and all other partners) are jointly and severally liable to the Contracting Authority (CA).
The participation of an ineligible natural/legal person will result in the automatic exclusion of that person. If that ineligible person belongs to a consortium, the whole consortium will be excluded.
Only one request to participate or tender can be submitted by a person whatever the form of participation (as an individual legal entity or as leader or partner of a consortium submitting a request to participate/tender). If a natural or legal person submits more than one request to participate or tender, all requests to participate or tenders in which that person has participated will be excluded.
Further information related to the submission of request to participate is given in Section VI (Additional Information).
As part of the request to participate form, candidates must submit a signed declaration, included in the standard request to participate form, to the effect that they are not in any of the exclusion situations listed in Section 2.6.10.1. of the PRAG (August 2020), as well as in the GtP (September 2018) for projects financed by the EIB (https://www.eib.org/attachments/strategies/guide_to_procurement_en.pdf), Section 1.4 (Ethical Conduct), Section 1.5 (Conflict of Interest), Section 1.7 (mandatory compliance with EIB's environmental and social safeguards) and Section 3.6 (Prohibited Conduct – Covenant of Integrity (CoI)– template available in EIB GtP, Annex 3), Anti-fraud policy of the EIB (http://www.eib.org/infocentre/publications/all/anti-fraud-policy.html) and Section 3.8 Environmental and Social Covenant (template is available in EIB GtP, Annex 7). It should be noted that, in the CoI, the tenderer is requested to self-declare all sanctions and/or exclusions (including any similar decisions having the effect of imposing conditions on the tenderer or its subsidiaries or to exclude the said tenderer or its subsidiaries, such as temporary suspension, conditional non-exclusion, etc.) imposed by the European institutions or any multilateral development banks (including the World Bank Group, the African Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, EBRD, EIB or Inter-American Development Bank), regardless of the date of issue and the expiration or not of such decisions and of the current status of any sanction and/or exclusion. In this regard, any omission or misrepresentation, made knowingly or recklessly, may be considered as fraud under the EIB Anti-Fraud Policy. Therefore, the Client reserves the right to reject any offer presenting an inaccurate or incomplete CoI, and may cause the rejection of the offer for prohibited conduct.
