- Suitability
Refer to tender documents.
- Legal form for consortia
- Requests to participate may be submitted by single entities or by groups of service providers. A group will not be required to convert into a specific legal form in order to submit a request to participate, but may if the Contracting Entity considers it necessary to ensure that the contract is carried out to its satisfaction, be required to do so prior to award of the contract. The Contracting Entity also reserves the right to contract with each member of the group on the basis of joint and several liability, or with one member of the group as a main contractor with a number of sub-contractors or on any other basis as the Contracting Entity considers appropriate.
- “23/006 - NI Network Balancing Gas” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract.
