When submitting the bids (but not the application for participation) the tenderers must submit a solemn declaration stating to which degree the tenderer has fulfilled its obligations relating to the payment of direct and indirect taxes and social security contributions in accordance with consolidation act no. 336 of 13. May 1997 regarding public payments. A form that the tenderers can use will be submitted with the tender material.

If a candidate wants to rely on other entities and wishes that the capacity of other entities is included when establishing the suitability of the candidate, the candidate must prove that the other entities will put the relevant resources at the disposal of the candidate. For instance this is fulfilled if the candidate submits a cooperation agreement clearly stating that the candidate has the relevant resources at its disposal (conversely, it is not sufficient to submit a declaration stating that the candidates is entitled to sell products on behalf of another entity if the candidate wishes to rely on the capacity of this other entity). The prequalification questionnaire can be used in this regard.

It shall be noted that the test will be based solely on the Mortar System and not on the integration on the platform as DALO not yet has the final platforms (Piranha 5) available. Therefore, the tenderers' shall provide an appropriate platform (for test purposes) from which among others "live-firing" can take place. The exact mechanism and the desirable tests will be described in the tender material. The tests are scheduled to take place at the tenderers' locations medio/ultimo The tests are expected to have a duration of 2 days at each tenderer. NEGOTIATIONS: A negotiation process is intended to be carried out with all prequalified candidates whose first indicative offer fulfils the mandatory requirements. Candidates who do not meet the mandatory requirements will not be invited to any negotiations or to submit any further offers. Negotiations will be focused on the strengths and weaknesses of the submitted tenders and will be based on the contract award criteria as well as possible reservations to the terms of the tender. DALO reserves the right - based on the award criteria - to shortlist the candidates after each round of negotiations (i.e. to reduce the number of candidates even if the tenderer in question fulfils the mandatory requirements). After having conducted the negotiations, a revised set of tender documents may be submitted based on the experiences from the negotiations. Hereafter, the candidates are requested to make any alteration (if any) to the indicative offer necessitated by the negotiations and to submit either a new indicative offer that leads to further negotiations or a best and final offer (BAFO). After receipt of the BAFO, DALO will evaluate all the BAFOs in order to identify the most economically advantageous offer, using the award criteria as further described in the tender conditions. SUBMISSION FOR PARTICIPATION (AND THE OFFER AT A LATER STAGE): The application for participation (and the offer at a later stage) must be submitted electronically through the Mercell Sourcing Service's web portal.
