A. INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS  article 36.3 (m) of the General Conditions>. Documentary evidence required from the successful tenderer  Before the Contracting Authority signs the contract with the successful tenderer, the latter must  provide the additional information and documentary evidence listed below. (1)  Documentary proof or statements required under the law of the country in which the  company (or each of the companies for consortia) is effectively established, to show that it is not  in any of the exclusion situations stipulated under Article 57 of European Parliament and Council  Directive 2014/24/EU. This evidence, documents or statements must be dated, no more than  one year before the date of submission of the tender. In addition, a statement must be furnished  stating that the situations described in these documents have not changed since then.  If the nature of your entity is such that it cannot fall into the exclusion situations and/or cannot  provide the documents indicated above (for instance, national public administrations and  international organisations), please provide a declaration explaining this situation.  The Contracting Authority may waive the obligation of any tenderer to submit the documentary  evidence referred to above if such evidence has already been submitted for the purposes of  another procurement procedure, provided that the issue date of the documents does not exceed  one year and that they are still valid. In this case, the tenderer must declare on his/her honour  that the documentary evidence has already been provided in a previous procurement procedure  and confirm that his/her situation has not changed. (2)  Documentary evidence of the financial and economic capacity as well as the technical  and professional capacity according to the selection criteria specified in item 5 above. For the  technical selection criteria you will find information in the notification of award letter which  references qualified you and you are only requested to submit documentary evidence for these  references. If the documentary evidence submitted is not written into the language of the procedure, a  translation into this language must be attached. Documentary proof or statements may be in  original or copy. If copies are submitted, the originals must be available to send to the  Contracting Authority upon request.  If the successful tenderer fails to provide the documentary evidence listed above within 15 calendar days following the notification of award or if the successful tenderer is found to have  provided false information, the award will be considered null and void. In such a case, the  Contracting Authority may award the tender to another tenderer or cancel the tender procedure.  Within 30 days of receipt of the contract, the selected tenderer shall sign and date the contract  and return it to the Contracting Authority.  Failure of the selected tenderer to comply with this requirement may constitute grounds for  annulling the decision to award the contract. In this event, the Contracting Authority may award  the tender to another tenderer or cancel the tender procedure. The other tenderers will, at the same time as the notification of award is submitted, be informed  that their tenders were not retained by standard letter, including an indication of the relative  weaknesses of their tender by way of a comparative table of the scores for the winning tender  and the unsuccessful tender. The second best tenderer is informed of the notification of award to  the successful tenderer with the reservation of the possibility to receive a notification of award in  case of inability to sign the contract with the first ranked tenderer. The validity of the offer of the  second best tenderer will be kept. The second tenderer may refuse the award of the contract if,  when receiving a notification of award, the validity of their tender has expired.  The Contracting Authority will furthermore, at the same time, also inform the remaining  unsuccessful tenderers and the consequence of these letters will be that the validity of their  offers must not be retained. The  corresponding  contract  award  notice  will  be  published  on  the  website  http://ted.europa.eu/TED/main/HomePage.do .  20. Cancellation of the tender procedure  19.2.
