      Fee-based.

      7.. Contract description:
      The overall objective of the project is to enhance EU–China cooperation on energy. In line with the EU's Energy Union, the clean energy for all Europeans initiative, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the EU's global strategy, this enhanced cooperation will help increase mutual trust and understanding between the 2 strategic partners and contribute to a global transition towards clean energy on the basis of a common vision of a sustainable, reliable and secure energy system.

      The 2 specific objectives of the ECECP can be summarised as follows:

      (a) reinforce the political dialogue between China and the EU on energy policy, energy sector reform, regulatory requirements, the role of energy markets and of the international energy architecture to support the goal of a global clean energy transition to ensure a sustainable, reliable and secure energy system;

      (b) create the conditions for a better access for EU business to energy-related markets with competition on a level playing field, both in support of EU interests and in order to allow EU expertise, solutions and technologies to support China's efforts to increase the sustainability, reliability and security of its energy sector.

      8.. Number and titles of lots:
      1 lot only.

      9.. Maximum budget:
      3 500 000 EUR.

      10.. Scope for additional services:
      The contracting authority may, at its own discretion, extend the project in duration and/or scope subject to the availability of funding up to the estimated amount of approximately 1 500 000 EUR. Any extension of the contract would be subject to satisfactory performance by the contractor.

      Conditions of participation


      11.. Eligibility:
      Participation is open to all natural persons who are nationals of, and legal persons (participating either individually or in a grouping — consortium — of tenderers) which are effectively established in, a Member State of the European Union or in an eligible country or territory as defined under the Regulation (EU) No 236/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11.3.2014 laying down common rules and procedures for the implementation of the Union's instruments for financing external action (CIR) for the applicable instrument under which the contract is financed (see also heading 29 below). Participation is also open to international organisations.

      12.. Candidature:
      All eligible natural and legal persons (as per item 11 above) or groupings of such persons (consortia) may apply.

      A consortium may be a permanent, legally-established grouping or a grouping which has been constituted informally for a specific tender procedure. All members of a consortium (i.e., the leader and all other members) are jointly and severally liable to the contracting authority.

      The participation of an ineligible natural or legal person (as per item 11) will result in the automatic exclusion of that person. In particular, if that ineligible person belongs to a consortium, the whole consortium will be excluded.

      13.. Number of applications:
      No more than 1 application can be submitted by a natural or legal person whatever the form of participation (as an individual legal entity or as a leader or member of a consortium submitting an application). In the event that a natural or legal person submits more than 1 application, all applications in which that person has participated will be excluded.

      14.. Shortlist alliances prohibited:
      Any tenders received from tenderers comprising firms other than those mentioned in the shortlisted application forms will be excluded from this restricted tender procedure unless prior approval from the contracting authority has been obtained (see ‘Practical Guide’ — PRAG 2.4.3). Shortlisted candidates may not form alliances or subcontract to each other for the contract in question.

      15.. Grounds for exclusion:
      As part of the application form, candidates must submit a signed declaration, included in the standard application form, to the effect that they are not in any of the exclusion situations listed in Section 2.3.3 of the PRAG.

      16.. Subcontracting:
      Subcontracting is allowed.

      17.. Number of candidates to be shortlisted:
      On the basis of the applications received, between 4 and 8 candidates will be invited to submit detailed tenders for this contract. If the number of eligible candidates meeting the selection criteria is less than the minimum of 4, the contracting authority may invite the candidates who satisfy the criteria to submit a tender.

      Provisional timetable


      18.. Provisional date of invitation to tender:
      17.11.2017.

      19.. Provisional commencement date of the contract:
      15.3.2018.

      20.. Initial period of implementation of tasks:
      36 months.

      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:

      1. the average annual turnover of the candidate must exceed 1 500 000 EUR; and

      2. current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) in the last year for which accounts have been closed must be at least 1. In case of a consortium this criterion must be fulfilled by each member.

      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:

      1. at least 10 staff currently working for the candidate in fields related to this contract;

      2. at least 3 staff mentioned under point 21.2)1 are employed on a permanent basis.

      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:

      1. the candidate has provided services under at least 2 contracts each with a budget of at least 1 000 000 EUR in energy policy-related projects, and where the candidate shall be responsible for at least 50 % of the contract value;

      2. the candidate has provided services under at least 1 contract in China with a budget of at least 1 000 000 EUR related to energy or environment or climate change policy, and where the candidate shall be responsible for at least 50 % of the contract value.

      Each project mentioned under points 21.3)1 and 21.3)2 shall have at least 12 months of effective implementation period during the last 5 years before the submission deadline.

      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:

      1) the highest number of projects found eligible under criterion 21.3)1 and in case of equality on this criterion; then

      2) the highest number of the project found eligible under criterion 21.3)2.

      22.. Award criteria:
      Best price-quality ratio.

      23.. Deadline for receipt of applications:
