General Administrative and Submission Clauses Tenderers may request a copy of the opening record by email to cs-procurement@eib.org. EIB will appoint an evaluation committee of at least 3 (three) persons guaranteeing the absence of  conflict of interest under guarantee of impartiality and confidentiality. Outside experts may be  appointed to assist the committee as observers provided it is ensured these experts have no conflicts  of interest.  N.B.  The evaluation procedure is confidential. The deliberations of the evaluation committee are  held in closed session and its recommendations are collective. The members of the evaluation  committee are bound to confidentiality.  Tenders complying with the formal opening requirements checked during the opening session are  evaluated in three stages by the evaluation committee.  The evaluation committee first checks if the Tenderer is in one of the exclusion situations preventing  him to participate in the procurement procedure.  The evaluation committee then checks the capacity of the Tenderer to perform the contract against  the selection criteria. If one of the relevant criteria is not met, its tender will not be further evaluated.  Afterwards, each member of the evaluation committee evaluates the technical and financial  proposals and awards a score against the pre-defined award criteria. In case of joint offers submitted by consortia and in case of subcontracting, the exclusion, selection  and award criteria are assessed in compliance with the terms and conditions specified in  point 7  below. The EIB shall exclude an economic operator from participation in a procurement procedure under  the conditions described in point V [Exclusion Effect] of the ‘Declaration on honour on exclusion  criteria and selection criteria and on absence of conflict of interest’ (to be found in  Form 5  of the  `Administrative forms for EIB tenders`). Document to be provided: Tenderers and, if applicable, group members and subcontractors shall provide a dated and duly  signed declaration on honour ( Form 5 ). In addition, the latter two shall provide group and  subcontracting declarations as per  Forms 3  and  4  of the `Administrative forms for EIB tenders` (if  applicable).  Documentation concerning selection criteria see  point 1.7 of the `Terms of Reference` must  specifically relate to the Tenderer, i.e. to the economic operator or group submitting a tender in the  context of this procurement procedure.  If the Tenderer relies on other entities to meet the selection criteria, a  written undertaking  on the  part of those entities must be provided. This must confirm that the entity will place the resources  Last updated: June 2020 6.4.  Selection criteria  6.3.  Exclusion criteria and conflict of interest  6.2.  Tender Evaluation Session  6.1.
