Liste og kort beskrivelse av regler og kriterier
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:
o 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.
o The credit rating shall have a minimum rating of creditworthy.
o 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.
o 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.
