    Aufgabe
    The proposed service contract will provide technical assistance services for the design and supervision of works for the LTDRP low-voltage distribution network. Activities to be undertaken will include a detailed design study, works tenders scoping (tentatively, it is foreseen that the works will be tendered in 3 or more lots), support to the procurement process and supervision of works on site for the improvement of power supply to the existing and new customers in selected high-density low-income areas of Lusaka City. The scope for works contracts will include rehabilitation, strengthening and expansion of the existing low-voltage distribution network and will be implemented in 2 phases.
    The service contractor will also undertake a socio-economic baseline study in selected project target areas which will provide input to the design phase and allow for proper monitoring of intended results and evaluation of improvements in peoples' livelihoods during the project implementation phase and after the project has been fully implemented.
    Following the design and subsequent rehabilitation/extension works and as a part of a wider project, at least 63 000 new individual connections of households, public amenities and eligible micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in selected low-income high-density areas are foreseen under a separate grant contract with ZESCO (national service provider).

      Selection and award criteria

      21.Selection criteria:
      The following selection criteria will be applied to candidates. In the case of applications submitted by a consortium, these selection criteria will be applied to the consortium as a whole unless specified otherwise. The selection criteria will not be applied to natural persons and single-member companies when they are subcontractors: 
      1) Economic and financial capacity of candidate (based on item 3 of the application form). In the case of the candidate being a public body, equivalent information should be provided. The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 3 years for which accounts have been closed: 
      a) the candidate's average annual turnover, excluding this contract, over the years indicated in the standard application forms must be at least equivalent to 2 500 000 EUR; 
      b) current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) in the last year for which accounts have been closed must be at least 1. In the case of a consortium this criterion must be fulfilled by each member. 
      The candidate must specify the years in question in figures on item 3 of the application form.
      2) Professional capacity of candidate (based on items 4 and 5 of the application form). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 5 years from the submission deadline: 
      a) the candidate must be specialised in the following fields: 
      — engineering design in the energy sector, 
      — supervision of works in the energy sector. 
      Supporting professional certificate(s) shall be provided with the submission of the tender, in the case of shortlisting;
      b) a minimum of 10 staff currently working (i.e. in 2017, ‘current year’ in point 4 of the application form), and on average in the above under (a) mentioned relevant fields of specialisation; 
      c) a minimum of 10 staff as permanent staff on average in the reference period (i.e. for the current year and the 2 previous years).
      3) Technical capacity of candidate (based on items 5 and 6 of the application form). The reference period which will be taken into account will be the last 5 years from the submission deadline: 
      the candidate must demonstrate experience in the provision of technical assistance services covering all of the aspects listed below: 
      i. at least 2 contracts in the energy sector with a cumulative budget of at least 4 000 000 EUR (proportion carried out by the candidate); 
      ii. feasibility/design studies for medium/low-voltage distribution network (33 kV overhead line or below) rehabilitation or construction, under at least 1 contract with a budget — cumulative, in case of more contracts — of at least 500 000 EUR (proportion carried out by the candidate); 
      iii. supervision of at least 1 works contract for the rehabilitation or construction of medium/low-voltage distribution network (33 kV overhead line or below) with a budget — cumulative, in case of more contracts — of at least 1 500 000 EUR (proportion carried out by the candidate).
      One and the same contract may cover both sub-points ii) and iii) of criterion 21.3) above, however in that case the candidate must explicitly indicate the proportion carried out by them in each of the above aspects. Likewise, candidates are allowed to refer to service contracts covering aspects that go beyond the mere scope of the above areas of intervention provided that they explicitly indicate the proportion carried out by them in both sub-points ii) and iii) of criterion 21.3) above. That information should be provided under the ‘Type and scope of services provided’. 
      Candidates/tenderers are allowed to refer either to projects completed within the reference period (although started earlier) or to projects not yet completed. The following shall apply: 
      • in the case of completed projects, a project will be considered in its whole if proper evidence of performance is provided (statement or certificate from the entity which awarded the contract, proof of final payment), 
      • in the case of projects still ongoing only the portion satisfactorily completed during the reference period although started earlier will be taken into consideration. This portion will have to be supported by documentary evidence of completion (e.g. proof of payment of interim invoices, certificate(s) of partial completion) also detailing its value, 
      • if a candidate has implemented the project in a consortium, the percentage that the candidate has successfully completed must be clear from the documentary evidence, together with a description of the nature of the services provided.
      Previous experience which caused breach of contract and termination by a contracting authority shall not be used as reference. 
      An economic operator may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links which it has with them. It must in that case prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary for performance of the contract, for example by producing a commitment on the part of those entities to place those resources at its disposal. Such entities, for instance the parent company of the economic operator, must respect the same rules of eligibility — notably that of nationality — and must fulfil the same relevant selection criteria as the economic operator. With regard to technical and professional criteria, an economic operator may only rely on the capacities of other entities where the latter will perform the works or services for which these capacities are required. With regard to economic and financial criteria, the entities upon whose capacity the tenderer relies become jointly and severally liable for the performance of the contract. 
      If more than 8 eligible candidates meet the above selection criteria, the relative strengths and weaknesses of the applications of these candidates must be re-examined to identify the 8 best candidates. The only factors which will be taken into consideration during this re-examination are:
      a. 1 point for each contract meeting criterion 3(ii) and/or 3(iii) for which the proportion satisfactorily completed by the candidate exceeded 500 000 EUR; 
      b. 1 extra point will be gained for each contract meeting criteria 3(ii) and/or 3(iii) if European Development Fund (EDF) rules and procedures were applied in the given contract; 
      c. 1 extra point will be gained for each contract meeting either 3(ii) and/or 3(iii)) if it was carried out in the sub-Saharan Africa region. 
      The candidates will be ranked according to their total number of points; and the 8 candidates with the highest scores will be shortlisted.
      22.Award criteria:
      Best price-quality ratio.
