Operative part of the order

Article 63(1) of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC, read in conjunction with Article 59 thereof
must be interpreted as meaning that where it is established that, in the event of the award of a public service contract to a group of economic operators, the performance of the activities for which experience is required will be entrusted to a single member of the group, the tendering group may rely, in order to demonstrate that it satisfies a condition relating to experience imposed by the contracting authority in accordance with Article 58(4) of that directive, solely on the experience of that member of the group, even if the procurement documents do not expressly provide that the members of a group of economic operators must individually satisfy that condition.
