— the ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfills the minimum suitability requirements in respect of economic and financial capacity before the decision to award the contract is made, the tenderer to whom the Contracting Authority intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate.

When required by the Contracting Authority, the candidate must submit the following documentation of economic and financial capacity:

The operator's balance sheet or extracts thereof in the last financial year available if publication of the balance sheet is required under law in the country in which the operator is established, or other documentation of the size of the equity. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the information must be submitted for each participating operator in the group. Where an operator relies on the economic and financial capacity of other entities (e.g. a parent company, sister company or a sub-contractor), the information must be submitted for these entities also.

As a minimum requirement, a positive equity is required in the last financial year available. If the candidate relies on the capacity of other entities, the equity is to be calculated as the total equity of the operator and such other entities in the last financial year available. For groups of operators (e.g. a consortium), the equity is calculated as the total equity of the operators in the last financial year available. The information is to be stated in section IV.B of the ESPD.

Hence, in the case of an ongoing task, only the part of the services already having been performed at the time of application will be included in the evaluation of the reference. Each reference is requested to include a brief description of the delivery performed. The delivery description should include a clear description of the services set out in sections II.1.4) and II.2.4) to which the delivery related and the candidate's role(s) in the performance of the delivery. The delivery description should moreover include the financial value of the delivery (amount), the date of the delivery, and the name of the customer (recipient). When indicating the date of the delivery, the candidate is requested to indicate the date when the delivery was commenced and finalised. If that is not possible, e.g. if the tasks were performed on an on-going basis under a framework agreement, the candidate is asked to indicate in the description of the delivery how the date is specified. No more than 5 references may be stated irrespective of whether the candidate is a single operator, whether the candidate relies on the technical capacity of other entities, or whether the candidate is a group of operators (e.g. a consortium). If more than 5 references are stated, only the first 5 references will be taken into account. Any additional references will be disregarded. If it is not possible to determine which references are the first 5 references, the references will be selected by the drawing of lots.

If the candidate relies on the professional experience of other entities for the performance of specific parts of the services comprised by the contract, see section II.2.4), such specific parts of the services under the contract must be performed by the entity on which the candidate relies. The ESPD serves as provisional documentation that the candidate fulfils the minimum suitability requirements in respect of technical and professional capacity, see section III.1.3) and how the candidate fulfils the selection criterion, see section II.2.9). Before the decision to award the contract is made, the tenderer to whom the Contracting Authority intends to award the contract must submit documentation that the information stated in the ESPD is accurate.
