A. INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS  this tender procedure. They must therefore commit themselves exclusively to the tenderer.  Note that non-key experts must not be asked to sign statements of exclusivity and availability.  Any expert working on another project, where the input from his/her position to that contract  could be required on the same dates as his/her activities under this contract, must not be  proposed as a key expert for this contract under any circumstances. Consequently, the dates  included by a key expert in his/her statement of exclusivity and availability in your tender must  not overlap with dates on which he/she is committed to work as a key expert on any other  contract.  For experts presented as part-time key experts, it is up to the tenderer in its Organisation and  Methodology (see item 7.1. (2) of the present Instructions to Tenderers) to demonstrate that the  key expert workload is compatible with the level of engagement described in the Terms of  References.  The expert may participate in parallel tender procedures but must inform the Contracting  Authority of these in the Statement of Exclusivity and Availability. Furthermore, the expert is  expected to notify the tenderer immediately if he/she is successful in another tender procedure  and he/she is expected to accept the first engagement offered to him/her chronologically.  If a key expert is proposed as a key expert by more than one tenderer with the agreement of the  key expert, the corresponding tenders will be rejected. The same applies if the key expert  proposed has been involved in the preparation of the current assignment. The expert concerned  will be excluded from this tender procedure and may also be excluded from other EIB-financed  contracts.  Having selected a firm partly on the basis of an evaluation of the key experts presented in the  tender, the Contracting Authority expects the contract to be executed by these specific experts.  However, after the award letter, the selected tenderer may propose replacements for the key  experts under certain conditions (for further information see point 19).  q Each key expert must also undertake to be available, able and willing to work for the whole  period scheduled for his/her input to implement the tasks set out in the Terms of Reference  and/or in the Organisation and methodology.  b) A signed  declaration  from each legal entity identified in the tender submission form, using  the format attached to the tender submission form.  c)  A signed  Declaration of honour on exclusion and selection criteria from each legal  entity identified in the tender submission form, using the format attached to the tender  submission form.  d) The  legal entity file and supporting documents (in case of consortium, these documents  should be provided by all the members). If the tenderer has already signed another contract  with the European Investment Bank, it may provide instead either its legal entity number or a  copy of the legal entity file provided on that occasion, unless it has changed its legal status  in the meantime.  e) Duly authorised signature:  an official document (statutes, power of attorney, notary  statement, etc.) proving that the person who signs on behalf of the company AND/OR joint  venture/consortium is duly authorised to do so. Please highlight in your offer the document  and the place in the respective document where this authorisation is mentioned.
