3.2. Selection criteria  The initial verification of non-exclusion of tenderers will be done on the basis of the  submitted declarations and consultation of the European Union's Early Detection and  Exclusion System. The documents mentioned as supporting evidence in the Declaration on  Honour need to be provided whenever requested and where this is necessary to ensure the  proper conduct of the procedure within a deadline given by the  Contracting authority $^{24}$. Annex 1  specifies which of the  involved entities  participating in a tender need to provide the  Declaration on Honour and, when requested by  the Contracting authority,  the supporting  evidence.  The objective of the selection criteria is to assess whether the tenderer has the legal,  regulatory, economic, financial, technical and professional capacity to perform the contract.  The selection criteria for this call for tenders, including the minimum levels of capacity, the  basis for assessment and the evidence required, are specified in the following subsections.  Tenders submitted by tenderers not meeting the minimum levels of capacity will be rejected.  When submitting its tender each tenderer shall declare on honour that it fulfils the selection  criteria for the call for tender. The model Declaration on Honour available in  Annex 2  shall  be used. The initial assessment of whether a tenderer fulfils the selection criteria will be done on the  basis of the submitted declaration(s).  The subsections below specify which selection criteria evidence must be provided with the  tender or may be requested later, at any time during the procurement procedure $^{25}$. In any case,  30 Please note that a request for evidence in no way implies that the tenderer has been  successful. $^{24}$ The obligation to provide the supporting evidence will be waived in the following situations:   if the same documents have already been provided in a previous award procedure of the European  Commission, have been issued no more than one year before the date of their request by the  Contracting authority  and are still valid at that date;   if such evidence can be accessed by the  Contracting Authority  on a national database free of charge, in  which case the economic operator shall provide  the Contracting authority  with the internet address of  the database and, if needed, the necessary identification data to retrieve the document;   if there is a material impossibility to provide such evidence.  $^{25}$ The obligation to provide the supporting evidence will be waived in the following situations:   if the same documents have already been provided in a previous award procedure of the European  Commission, have been issued no more than one year before the date of their request by the  Contracting authority  and are still valid at that date;
