EK01 Economic/financial capacity
The tenderer has the economic/financial capacity to fulfil the contract.
Official extract from the commercial register and extract from the debt collection register no older than three months when requested by the client. Foreign tenderers shall submit comparable, current official documents from the foreign country.

EK02 Compliance with procedural principles and self-declaration
a) Compliance with procedural principles
The tenderer confirms that it and all third parties called in by it (subcontractors and sub-suppliers) comply with the procedural principles in accordance with the self-declaration document of the Federal Procurement Conference FPC.
b) Additional certification of compliance with equal pay for men and women
In addition to the self-declaration, tenderers and their first-level subcontractors with over 50 employees each have to provide evidence of how their wage practice was checked.

EK03 Experience
The tenderer may call in third parties (subcontractors and sub-suppliers) for fulfilment of this contract. If the tenderer sub-contracts to third parties, the areas for which the third parties are responsible are to be listed. The tenderer and any third parties called in must have sufficient experience of projects that are comparable with this contract in terms of scope, complexity and expertise required in the areas for which each is responsible.
The tenderer and any third parties called in shall demonstrate this experience by submitting a reference for each area of responsibility successfully managed in the five years preceding the publication of this invitation to tender. A reference may include several areas of responsibility.
A yardstick for project success is an average overall satisfaction rating of at least 2 from the referee for timeliness, budget compliance, quality and cooperation (on a scale of 1 to 3, 1 being the highest score).
References regarding projects carried out by the tenderer for the Confederation are permitted only if the referees mentioned have given prior written consent to the provision of information.
Proof: This suitability criterion is to be documented for each individual lot for which a tender is submitted.
a) The tenderer shall list any third parties and specify their areas of responsibility in the appendix “[Anhang_07]”;

EK08 Replacement of employees
The tenderer is willing to replace employees deployed as follows if there is good cause to do so:
- The performance and deployment of the persons made available by the tenderer are assessed by the client. If, in the process, a discrepancy is found relative to the requirements and criteria according to the specifications and appendices, the tenderer shall make a statement on this. Thereafter, the client will decide whether the tenderer will be obliged to replace the persons concerned within 14 days with persons who meet the requirements.
- Within the context of fulfilment of the contract, other important grounds for replacing staff could arise such as negative federal personnel security screening, contract termination, prolonged holidays, accident or illness. In such circumstances, the tenderer is responsible for replacing the person in question with an equally qualified person. Involvement in other projects of the supplier does not qualify as an important reason in this regard.
