VI. Selection criteria

'The contracting body shall provide the exclusion grounds and selection criteria for its tendering process as structured information – via ESPD template or structured list of criteria set out in a call for tender."

This chapter on selection criteria provides details on how to implement the formal requirements set in the eSens ESPD BIS 41 - Single European Document (Version 2.0.0) document. See specifically these global requirements related to selection criteria: tbr070-018.

Differences between Basic and Extended exclusion criteria

The ESPD-EDM V2.1.0 introduced important changes regarding the selection criteria that are shared by 2.1.1 version. It provides the contracting authority with much more flexibility to define requirements specific to the procurement procedure. These features affect specifically the following aspects:

Suitability, including enrolment in a relevant professional register, enrolment in a trade register, authorisation and membership of particular organisation needed for service contracts;
Turnovers (general and specific);
References to similar works and services, including confidentiality about the references;
Quality assurance schemes and environmental management standards;
Professional ris indemnity insurance;
Other economic or financial requirements;
Technicians or technical bodies;
Supply chain management;
Allowance of checks;
Educational and professional qualifications and Environmental management measures;
Tools, plant or technical equipment;
Criteria for a particular type of contract;
Technical, study, research, and development facilities resources;
Financial ratios;
Other: Lots management, weighting, EO Roles.

This section covers exhaustively each of these aspects and provides examples of XML implementation for each one of them. They will examined criterion by criterion, taking as a starting the point the requirement expressed in 'BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0)'.

ABOUT the compatibility between Basic and Extended ESPDs:

Not all the selection criteria have modified their structures between versions 1.0.2 and 2.1.1.
The changes introduced by the Extended ESPD are basically 'additions'.

Therefore the compatibility from a Basic ESPD towards a Extended ESPD should be possible to a large extent.

As for the exclusion criteria (and following requirement tbr070-013) we have grouped the selection criteria under different categories. The figure below is intended to identify and list these categories for the selection criteria (branches in text boxes), and specific subgroups within each category (leaves in text without boxes).

Each branch in this 'criteria taxonomy' corresponds to one data structure that is identical for all the leaves under that branch (e.g. compare the names of the boxes with the tabs of the spreadsheets containing the Basic and Extended taxonomies).

Figure 1. Selection criteria taxonomy

VI.1 Alpha criterion

The criterion 'Global indication for all selection criteria' (a.k.a. 'Alpha Criterion') is a special feature only possible in the Basic ESPD. It is intended to avoid that the economic operator specifies a long list of selection criteria.

The code used in the ESPD-Basic Criteria Taxonomy to identify this criterion is:

CRITERION.SELECTION.ALL (UUID f4dc58dd-af45-4602-a4c8-3dca30fac082)

The use of the Alpha Criterion implies that the economic operator states that it fulfills all the selection criteria. Fulfilling an ESPD-Response document like this is close to the idea of the ESPD used as a self-declaration.

If this selection criterion is used then no other selection criterion can occur in the XML instance of an ESPD-Basic document. Otherwise the validation mechanisms should reject the document.

The use of the Alpha Criterion is not recommended as it does not promote the transparency and hinders the interoperability: no data about the selection criteria are exchanged. These are the two main reasons why the Alpha Criterion is not used in the Extended ESPD.

Mock-ups (CA perspective)

The two figures below show how the EC’s transitional ESPD-Service behaves when the 'Alpha Criterion' is used by the Contracting Authority (CA) to specify that there is no need for the Economic Operator (EO) to specify each criterion (first figure: no A to D sets of criteria), and when the CA requires the EO to specify each criterion (second figure: blocks of criteria A to D are to be answered).

XML Example - (only for the Basic ESPD)

In this example, the CA creates an ESPD-Request document which contains one, and only one, selection Criterion (see the first fragment of XML code below).

The System of the Economic Operator will import the ESPD-Request document ans will answer with a simple true or false value in the its ESPD-Response document (see the second fragment of XML code below):

VI.2 Suitability

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to 'Suitability' criteria for the Extended ESPD in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0), and more specifically the requirement tbr070-003

Differences between Basic and Extended

In the Basic, the CA is able to check the selection criteria regarding Suitability that apply to a particular procurement procedure, but cannot provide the particular information required to the EO for each criteria.
In the Extended, the CA is able to specify the name of the register or the organisation the EO must be part of, and the URL. Additionally, the CA can specify Lots.
For both models (Basic and Extended), the category ''Suitability'' is split into covers two groups of different data structures with these classification codes:
- One data structure for two types of ''enrolments''(''Enrolment in a relevant professional register'' and ''Enrolment in a trade register''), and
- Another data structure for two suitabilities related to ''service contracts'' (''For service contracts: authorisation of particular organisation needed'' and ''For service contracts: membership of particular organisation needed'').

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective

Notice that, as for the exclusion criteria, for the selection criteria the MS can specify general national sub-criteria in e-Certis. Software applications can download these sub-criteria from e-Certis and shown them in their GUI. For each national sub-criteria, the economic operator will have to respond "Yes" or "No" to confirm that it fulfills them.

VI.2.2 Extended suitability (enrolments)

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

For each criteria regarding suitability, the CA should be able to provide: the register name, its URL and the Lots to which each requirement apply.

The mock-up below represents the requirements the CA should be able to specify for a suitability criterion in a procedure procurement that is not divided into lots:

Extended 'Suitability' criterion (CA perspective)

Figure 8. Extended 'Suitability' criterion without Lots (CA perspective)'

This other mock-up represents the same situation when the procurement procedure is divided into lots.

The contracting authority (CA) may request that the economic operator is registered in one or multiple registers. Per each register the CA specifies to which Lots this make sense. This behaviour of “one set of lots per group of properties is regular for all those selection criteria where the allocation of lots to a set of 'criterion properties' make sense (e.g. see the section "References").

Figure 9. Extended 'Suitability' criterion with Lots (CA perspective)'

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective

Notice that:

The Lots and registers specified by the contracting authority are presented to the economic operator (on the left side of the mock-up, circles 1 to 6);
The expected answer is "Yes", meaning that the economic operator fulfills the criterion;
In case of answering "No" the economic operator will have to provide the reasons why it is not registered.

Figure 10. Extended 'Suitability' criterion (EO perspective)'

Data Structure (Enrolments) - Extended

This data structure is quite different from the Basic ESPD:

It allows the definition of multiple national sub-criteria (to be retrieved from e-Certis): cardinality "0..n" of the SUBCRITERION group;
It also allows the contracting authority to speciy multiple groups of REQUIREMENT(s) (in this case to specify which registers the economic operator should be registered in).
The number of Lots is also multiple (notice the cardinality "1..n" of the LotID REQUIREMENT, thus making possible to build lists of LotsIDs.
Regarding the groups of questions, notice that the main question is addressed to get the confirmation from the economic operator that it fulfills the criterion (if "Yes" the economic operator is registered). In case of answering "No" a sub-group of one QUESTION must be shown (the one asking the economic operator to provide the reason why it is not registered in the register specified by the contracting authority).

(The figure below is defined in the the tab "Suitability-I of the ESPD-CriteriaTaxonomy spread-sheet).

Figure 11. Extended 'Suitability' criterion data structure (enrolments)

XML Example - Extended (with Lots)

The following XML example illustrates how to solve the more complex situation, when the Lots are specified. If the procurement procedure is not divided into Lots, the XML would be identical, except that all the elements related to Lots would not be present.

For detailed comments on how Lots are used in this case, visit the section IX.1 All about lots, sub-section Example 1: Suitability.

1	This is a CAPTION, software applications can use it to document the GUI.
2	As this is a CAPTION no value is expected to be provided by the Contracting Authority (thus the absence of a `cbc:Expected…` element) nor by the Economic Operator (thus the value NONE`for the element `cac:ValueDataTypeCode).
3	A sequence of REQUIREMENTs related to Lots start here. In this case, this element `cac:TenderingCriterionProperty` is the first of a list of a series of Lots for which the following REQUIREMENTS inside the parent group (group with UUUID `a53561d5-….`) apply. In this example, the list of Lots are `Lot1`, `Lot2`, `Lot4` and `Lot5`.
4	The REQUIREMENTs by the CA related to this criterion start here.
5	The name of the organisation issuing the authorisation: the Spanish food safety agency.
6	Notice the use of the attribute `languageID` meaning, in this example, that the name is expressed in Spanish.
7	The QUESTIONs associated to the REQUIREMENT and Lots above start here.
8	A "choice" structure is coming now: A true/false QUESTION is asked ("Your answer" to the question contained in the Criterion "Is a particular membership of a particular organisation needed in order to be able to perform the service …". If the user (the EO) answers "Yes" (true) then it has to provide the registration number of the authorisation. Otherwise the EO will have to provide a justification about why the authorisation is not registered.
9	If yes… provide the registration number for the authorisation.
10	If no… provide a justification for not having this authorisation issued by the required organisation.

See formal requirements related to 'Turnover' criteria for the Extended ESPD in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0), and more specifically the requirement tbr070-008

Differences between 'general and specific' and 'yearly and average' turnovers

General turnover refers to the general turnover of the economic operator in a period of years and regardless of the nature of the contract, normally the last three or five years (as required in the contract documents or the ESPD).
Specific turnovers refer to the turnover of the economic operator resulting from the activity of the economic operator in the business area covered by the contract;
As far as the data structures are concerned, they can be classified in two groups 'yearly' and 'average':
- For general and specific yearly turnovers the economic operator specifies a turnover amount (and currency) per year, e.g. one amount for 2016, one amount for 2015, one amount for 2014, etc.
- For general and specific average turnovers, given the n last years (specified in the ESPD, notices or procurement documents) the economic operator adds all the yearly turnovers of those n years, divides the sum by n and provides the resulting amount.
- The classification codes for the different turnovers are:
  - (Yearly) CRITERION.SELECTION.ECONOMIC_FINANCIAL_STANDING.TURNOVER.GENERAL_YEARLY, CRITERION.SELECTION.ECONOMIC_FINANCIAL_STANDING.TURNOVER.SPECIFIC_YEARLY;
  - (Average) CRITERION.SELECTION.ECONOMIC_FINANCIAL_STANDING.TURNOVER.AVERAGE_YEARLY, CRITERION.SELECTION.ECONOMIC_FINANCIAL_STANDING.TURNOVER.SPECIFIC_YEARLY

Differences between Basic and Extended turnovers

The Basic ESPD expects a constant amount of groups of properties made of Amount, Start Date, End Date. The ESPD Service, for instance, expects general or specific yearly turnovers for the five past years. Thus, being the current year 2017, the ESPD Service generates a view for the economic operator with fields for 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012. See mock-up below for the Basic version of the general and specific yearly turnovers.
In the Extended:
- For the general yearly turnover the contracting authority can specify the number of the past recent years for which it will require Turnovers, and also the minimum amount it expects from the economic operator. The economic operator should only see the same number of groups of fields 'amount + period' than the number of minimum amounts the contracting authority required.
- For the average yearly turnover the contracting authority can specify the number of fiscal years * (“QUANTITY_INTEGER”) encompassing the yearly turnovers for which the average is to be calculated; the *minimum amount for which the EO’s average yearly turnover must equal or be greater; and the currency.
- For the specific yearly turnover the contracting authority can specify the number of fiscal years for which the EO will have to provide turnovers (e.g. last 5 years); the CPVs, with one or several Common Procurement Vocabulary codes to indicate the activities that were developed during those fiscal years for that Turnover. The CA could be able to select the CPV codes from a pop-up window with the whole CPV structure. Both the CPV code and the “Business domain description” could be displayed, both in the pop-up window (in order to facilitate the selection of the codes to be included in the ESPD) and in the ESPDResponse; the Minimum amount expected from the EO, for which each specific yearly turnover must equal or be greater; and the currency.
- For the specific average turnover the contracting authority can specify the number of the past recent fiscal years for which the EO will need to provide the Average Turnover; e.g. last 3 years; the CPVs, with one or several Common Procurement Vocabulary codes to indicate the activities that were developed during those fiscal years for that Turnover; the minimum amount expected from the EO, for which the EO’s average yearly turnover must equal or be greater; and the currency.

VI.3.1 Basic general turnover

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

The mock-up below shows the perspective of the contracting authority (CA) when preparing a new ESPD Request. Notice that the CA may select the type of turnover. The economic operator, while preparing the ESPD Response, should only see these turnovers, and not the unselected ones.

In this case the contracting authority (CA) requires only a general average turnover. You will notice that this case is identical to the Basic specific average turnover. The only difference between both is the wording of the criterion. In this "general" case the CA asks for the average in general, regardless of the business area covered by the contract.

Figure 14. Basic 'general yearly turnover' CA mock-up

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

The economic operator has to provide turnovers for all the years required by the contracting authority. For all of them it can also provide one evidence.

VI.3.2 Extended general turnover

In the Extended version the contracting can specify the number of the past recent years for which it will require turnovers, but also the minimum amount it expects from the economic operator.

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

Notice that the contracting authority can add and remove as many groups of minimum required amounts as needed (in the example below the software application limits the number to five, see tool-tip next to the button "Add"). These requirements are, of course, particular to this procurement procedure and were not defined by the Member State in e-Certis.

Figure 18. Extended 'General Yearly Turnovers' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Extended

In this this figure what it is being shown is that the contracting authority required three general yearly turnovers, for which it defined minimum amounts in one REQUIREMENT(s) group. Next, three groups of QUESTION(s) are provided, each one of them corresponding to the past three years. Remember that the spreadsheet used in this guide to represent the criteria data structure is also used to generate sample XML instances. So by including three groups of QUESTION(s) in the spread-sheet, the tool generating sample XML instances will automatically generate three sub-groups of properties each one with distinct UUIDs.

VI.3.3 Basic average yearly turnover

You will notice that the case of the Basic average yearly turnover is identical to the Basic specific average turnover.

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

In this case the contracting authority, while preparing a new ESPD Request, has selected to require only an average yearly turnover. The economic operator will have to specify the number of years for which it provides the average turnover.

Figure 20. Basic 'average yearly turnover' CA mock-up

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

Notice that, in the BASIC mode it is the economic operator who specifies the number of years for the average turnover. Additional it also must provide the amount corresponding to the average and the currency for that amount.

VI.3.5 Basic specific yearly turnover

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

In this case the contracting authority (CA) requires only a specific average turnover. You will notice that this case is identical to the Basic general average turnover. The only difference between both is the wording of the criterion. The difference between "general" and "specific" lies in the fact that for the second one the CA specifies that the turnover must relate to the specific business area covered by the contract.

Figure 26. Basic 'specific yearly turnover' CA mock-up

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

Notice that in the Basic ESPD the MS defined up to five groups of turnovers for the past recent 5 years. This is also visible in the data structure below. The Extended ESPD allows the CA to specify the number of turnovers for the procurement document.

VI.3.6 Extended specific yearly turnover

One characteristic of the "specific" turnovers is that the contracting authority requires to know which is the economic operator’s turnover for a concrete business domain. The only way of responding that requirement is either by describing the domain in a free-text field or to use the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes to narrow as much as possible the business domain.

Notice that in the Mock-ups and the Data Structures, below, both options are available to the economic operator.

See also section about the EXTENDED specific average turnover.

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

For specific yearly turnover criterion the following fields can be required by the contracting authority (CA):

The number of fiscal years for which the economic operator (EO) will have to provide turnovers; e.g. last 5 years;
The CPVs, with one or several Common Procurement Vocabulary codes to indicate the activities that were developed during those fiscal years for that Turnover. The CA could be able to select the CPV codes from a pop-up window with the whole CPV structure. Both the CPV code and the “Business domain description” could be displayed, both in the pop-up window (in order to facilitate the selection of the codes to be included in the ESPD) and in the ESPDResponse;
The minimum amount expected from the EO, for which each specific yearly turnover must equal or be greater;
The currency.

Figure 29. Extended 'specific yearly turnover' CA mock-up

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

Notice that in this example:

The contracting authority required specific yearly turnovers for the past five years (circle numbered as 1);
The area covered by the contract is classified via three CPV codes. The software application may retrieve the descriptions of the CPV taxonomy (probably from the EU Publications Office SIMAP or MDR services) and show them in the next to the caption "Business domain description". The contracting authority may change those descriptions manually;
The minimum amount required by the contracting authority, and the currency for that amount (the EO should be able to express an identical or greater economic value in a different currency);
The software application has produced up to five groups of properties for each of the last five Fiscal Years (FY1 to FY5);
The economic operator has provided answers for all the properties of each Fiscal Year.

Figure 30. Extended 'specific yearly turnover' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Extended

Notice that:

The criterion may have one or more linked national sub-criteria downloaded from e-Certis (SUBCRITERON structure, cardinality 0..n);
The contracting authority is able to specify the number of fiscal years (REQUIREMENT 'Number of fiscal years');
The contracting authority can specify one or more CPV to delimit the area covered by the contract (the REQUIREMENT 'CPV Code' has cardinality 1..n);
The description of the business area could be pre-filled with the descriptions coming from the CPV taxonomy or manually introduced;
The contracting authority does also specifies the minimum amount required for this specific turnover.
The rest of the criterion are the questions for the economic operator to answer: period and amount (and currency in the amount attribute @currencyID).

VI.3.7 Basic specific average turnover

You will notice that the case of the Basic specific average turnover is identical to the Basic general average turnover.

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

For this case, the contracting authority has selected "Specific average turnover'. The economic operator should not see the rest of turnovers.

VI.3.8 Extended specific average turnover

As for the EXTENDED specific yearly turnover, in the EXTENDED specific average turnover the contracting authority is interested in knowning the turnover for a concrete business domain. Hence the fields CPV and business domain description in the mock-ups and data structures.

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

Figure 36. Extended 'specific average turnover' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Extended

Notice that this Extended specific average turnover structure is 'practically identical' to the data structure of the Extended specific yearly turnover criterion. The only difference is that the cardinality of the amount is 1 (instead of 1..n).

VI.4 EO setup

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to selection criteria in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0).

Differences between Basic and Extended

For both models, Basic and Extended, the structure of the QUESTION criterion is identical and very simple. It only asks for a year: in the criterion description the Contracting Authority is requiring that in case the information concerning turnover (general or specific) is not available for the entire period required, the Economic Operator states the date on which it was set up or started trading. Thus the only criterion defined under this data structure is classified with the code:
- CRITERION.SELECTION.ECONOMIC_FINANCIAL_STANDING.TURNOVER.SET_UP
The Extended is able to keep in the XML documents the national sub-criteria defined by the MS in e-Certis.

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

In this case the contracting authority has selected the option Set up of economic operator just in case the other specific average turnover is not available:

Figure 38. 'Economic operator setup’CA mock-up

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

And in case the economic operator could not provide the specific average turnover will have to specify a date as a response to the QUESTION:

Figure 39. 'Economic operator setup’EO mock-up

Data Structure - Basic

'Economic operator setup' criterion data structure

Figure 40. 'Economic operator setup' criterion (Basic) data structure

Data Structure - Extended

The data structure for the Extended model is identical to the one in the Basic model, except for the fact that the XML instance is able to keep the national sub-criteria defined by the Member State in e-Certis.

VI.5 Financial ratios

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to 'Turnover' criteria for the Extended ESPD in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0), and more specifically the requirement tbr070-013

Differences between Basic and Extended

The Basic ESPD expects the economic operator to introduce a numeric value for the ratio (e.g. 0.7, 1.2, etc.) and a description explaining the meaning (the type of ratio) of this numeric value;
In the Basic ESPD the possibility of adding more than one ratio is given to the economic operator;
In the Extended ESPD the possibility of adding more than one ratio is given to the contracting authority;
The Extended ESPD instead allows the contracting authority:
- To specify the number of the past recent years for which it will require Ratios;
- To specify one of the codes defined by BACH to specify the type of the ratio (see BACH Banque France, and FinancialRatioType);
- May specify a minimum requirement (the economic operator must provide a ratio above this minimum requirement).
The Extended ESPD expects the economic operator to introduce only the value of the ratio, which must be equal or greater than the minimum requirement specified by the contracting authority (if any was specified).
The data structures of Basic and Extended are different. See the sub-sections below about the Basic financial ratio and the Extended financial ratio for details. There is only one criterion under the category "financial ratio" and it is classified with the code:
- CRITERION.SELECTION.ECONOMIC_FINANCIAL_STANDING.FINANCIAL_RATIO
The Extended is able to keep in the XML documents the national sub-criteria defined by the MS in e-Certis regarding this criterion.

VI.5.1 Basic financial ratios

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

The contracting authority has selected the financial ratio as one of the selection criteria that will go into the ESPD Request document:

Figure 42. Basic 'financial ratio' CA mock-up

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

The economic operator has to respond with the numeric value corresponding to the financial ratio and with a description to identify the type of ratio:

VI.5.2 Extended financial ratios

REQUIREMENT

The contracting authority must use the BACH Banque France Code List for the specification of financial ratios.

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

Extended 'financial ratio' CA mock-up

The contracting authority has selected the financial ratio as one of the selection criteria that will go into the ESPD Request document:

In the Extended ESPD the contracting authority specifies procurement procedure-specific requirements:

Extended 'financial ratio' CA REQUIREMENT(s) mock-up

Figure 45. Extended 'financial ratio' CA mock-up REQUIREMENT(s) edition

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

The economic operator does only have to provide the numeric value for the financial ratio (which should be greater than the minimum requirement specified by the contracting authority):

Figure 46. Extended 'financial ratio' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Extended

REQUIREMENT(s) specified by the contracting authorities can be place outside a group of QUESTION(s) (see any other previous criteria) or inside a group of QUESTION(s), which is the case for financial ratios, as you can see in the data structure for this criterion, below.

Notice how the spreadsheet has been used to specify the three different financial ratios of the above mock-up example: the XML example below was produced using a XSL-T transformation style-sheet that takes the spreadsheet (file content.xml ^[1]) and produced the XML instance.

3	First financial ratio block: the description of the ratio is the one provided by BACH and should be captured from the CodeList "FinancialRatioType", which in turn is should be directly form the BACH web-site.
4	First financial ratio block: a threshold established by the contracting authority as minimum requirement; the ratio provided by the economic operator shall be greater or equal to this minimum numeric value.
5	Second financial ratio block: type code required by the contracting authority according to the example illustrated in the mock-up above (the contracting authority may require several financial ratios; notice that the cardinality of this sub-group in the data structure and the mock-up is 1..n). The content of this block, and of the following one, have been removed for brevity, but they are similar to the first block, except that the value of the code, description and minimum requirement shall be different.

VI.6 Risk indemnity insurance

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to selection criteria in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0).

Other requirements:

REQUIREMENT

Compulsory use of the code list InsuranceType for the Extended ESPD of the ESPD.

Differences between Basic and Extended

In the Basic ESPD it is the economic operator who provides data about one risk indemnity insurance;
In the Extended ESPD the contracting authority can require one minimum amount for multiple insurances, each one of a different type (see the code list InsuranceType);
In the Extended ESPD when the amount specified by the economic operator (EO) is lower than the minimum required, the EO will be able to indicate that the EO commits to obtain the minimum amount required (though it doesn’t have it now).
In the Extended ESPD, for the type of insurance "Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance" (and only for this type), the EO will also be able to indicate whether it is exempt or not.
The Extended is able to keep in the XML documents the national sub-criteria defined by the MS in e-Certis.
For both models, Basic and Extended The only criterion defined under this data structure is classified with the code:
- CRITERION.SELECTION.ECONOMIC_FINANCIAL_STANDING.RISK_INDEMNITY_INSURANCE

VI.6.1 Basic risk indemnity insurance

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

The contracting authority has selected the option Professional risk indemnity insurance for its inclusion in the ESPD Request. Notice that the Member State (Finland) defined in e-Certis a specific national criterion related to the risk indemnity insurance. This national criterion will not be saved into the exported XML instance, as this is a BASIC version of the ESPD.

Figure 48. 'Basic risk indemnity insurance’CA mock-up

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

The only data the economic operator needs to provide is the amount covered by the insurance and the currency for that amount:

VI.6.2 Extended risk indemnity insurance

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

The contracting authority has selected the option professional risk indemnity insurance for its inclusion in the ESPD Request. Additionally the contracting authority can specify REQUIREMENT(s) specific to the procurement procedure. There are two situations that need to be distinguished here, when the procurement procedure is divided into Lots and when it is not.

For both situations (Lots and not Lots): The contracting authority can require data from the economic operator in relation to up to four types of insurances. Software applications should control that: no more groups of amount an currency data are presented to the economic operator; and that there are not two amounts referring to the same type of insurance;

Extended 'risk indemnity insurance' CA mock-up

Figure 51. 'Extended risk indemnity insurance' CA REQUIREMENT(s) edition (Procedure without Lots)

When the procedure is divided into Lots: The contracting authority can specify the Lots one particular insurance applies to.

Figure 52. 'Extended risk indemnity insurance' CA REQUIREMENT(s) edition (Procedure divided into Lots).

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

The only data the economic operator needs to provide is the amount covered by the insurance and the currency for that amount:

'Extended 'risk indemnity insurance' EO mock-up

Figure 53. 'Economic operator setup’EO mock-up

Data Structure - Extended

This structure is quite particular. Notice that:

Multiple national sub-criteria can be defined (as for the rest of criteria); and additionally
Multiple groups of REQUIREMENT(s) and QUESTION(s) can be defined by the contracting authority (CA):
- One group asking optionally for Lots: observe that the cardinality of the Lot IDs is 1..n and have their own sub-group, so a list of LotIDs can be built up; and
- An additional sub-group for the type of insurance and the minimum amount required by the CA.
- A sub-group of three QUESTION(s) for the economic operator to answer (amount, and two questions to be answered as "Yes" or "No"; and
- The possibility of attaching an evidence per each insurance.

The XML example below illustrates all this. The values used in the example are the same as the ones in the spread-sheet.

VI.7 Other economic or financial requirements

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to selection criteria in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0).

Differences between Basic and Extended

In the Basic ESPD it is the economic operator who declares other economic and financial information.
In the Extended ESPD the contracting authority can specify the description of the economic or financial requirement; the minimum amount required and the currency; the period to which the amount relates to; a minimum rating and the rating schema.
In the Extended the contracting authority can also specify the Lots to which the economic or financial requirement applies. This is not possible in the Basic ESPD.
The Extended is able to keep in the XML documents the national sub-criteria defined by the MS in e-Certis.
For both models, Basic and Extended, the only criterion defined is classified with the code:
- CRITERION.SELECTION.ECONOMIC_FINANCIAL_STANDING.OTHER_REQUIREMENT(s)
  === VI.7.1 Basic other economic or financial requirements

Mock-up - contracting authority perspective

The contracting authority has selected the other economic or financial requirements to be included in the ESPD Request document:

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

The only data expected from the economic operator is a textual description:

VI.7.2 Extended other economic or financial requirements

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

The contracting authority has selected the option other economic or financial requirements for its inclusion in the ESPD Request.

Additionally the contracting authority can specify REQUIREMENT(s) specific to the procurement procedure. There are two situations that need to be distinguished here, when the procurement procedure is divided into Lots and when it is not.

Thus, for this criterion the contracting authority will be able to:

Either add multiple requirements. For each requirement, the CA will need to provide the description of the requirement, the minimum amount and currency and the start and end date; or it will need to provide the minimum rating and the rating schema.
In the ESPDResponse, the EO will be required to provide, for each requirement, the amount and currency.
When the procedure is divided into Lots: The contracting authority can specify the Lots one particular requirement applies to.

Notice that in the mock-up below the first requirement is about an economic of financial requirement whilst the second requirement is about a rating requirement. See data structure and XML example for more details on this distiction.

Extended 'other economic or financial requirements' CA mock-up

Figure 58. Extended 'other economic or financial requirements' CA REQUIREMENT(s) edition (Procedure divided into Lots).

Mock-up - economic operator perspective

The economic operator, in its view, sees all the requirements defined by the contracting authority and responds to this requirements with an amount and currency. See XML example below to identify where these data are placed in the XML instance.

Figure 59. Extended 'other economic or financial requirements' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Extended

The structure of this criterion 'other economic or financial requirements' for the EXTENDED ESPD is also very particular (distinct from the rest of criteria data structures). Notice the following aspects:

It allows for capturing multiple national criteria;
It specifies the Legislation component for the EU parent criterion. So far so good, no differences until now;
There’s a group of REQUIREMENT(s) and QUESTION(s).
The group of REQUIREMENT(s) defines a caption that is kep empty (no name, no description, no value. You will have noticed this also in other criteria. The reason for having this dummy CAPTION is that the UBL-2.2 model requires always at least one cac:TenderingCriterionProperty element instance inside a group or sub-group of properties;
Then you have the group for collecting Lots specified by the CA. This spreadsheet would generate only one Lot, unless you add more LotIDs into this sub-group. Observe that the cardinality of the REQUIREMENT (LotID) is multiple, 1..n.
The most important part comes now: You have a kind of choice here: one of the two subgroups the data will be shown (or not) depending on the answer of the contracting authority to the REQUIREMENT: Select the type of requirement. If the CA’s answer was economic or financial requirement the application takes it as a true; otherwise it is considered false:
- On true (see the group code on the right side of the data structure) three REQUIREMENT(s) will be shown to the economic operator: description, minimum amount and period. For this REQUIREMENT the economic operator will see all these requirements and will have to provide an amount.
- On false (see the group code on the right side of the data structure) three REQUIREMENT(s) will be shown to the economic operator: minimum rating and rating scheme. For this REQUIREMENT the economic operator will see all these requirements and will have to provide a rating.

VI.8 References on similar works, deliveries or services

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to selection criteria in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0).

Differences between Basic and Extended

For both models, Basic and Extended the contracting authority can require references for the type of project (or nature of the contract: works, supplies and services). Software applications should take care of not including those types of contract that were not selected by the contracting authority.
In the Basic ESPD the economic operator supplies its references for one of those types of contract.
In the Basic ESPD the economic operator provides a description for the reference, the amount of the contract, the period of execution and who where the recipients of its works, supplies or services. 'Amount' here must be interpreted as the amount specific to this reference. See difference between total and specific amounts below.
In the Extended ESPD the contracting authority can specify the minimum number of references required for the evaluation; an an unlimited number of free-text “requirements”, so the CA can provide requirements very specific to the procurement procedure.
In the Extended ESPD, and per each reference, the economic operator (EO) can specify more information than for the Basic ESPD; e.g. the Lots to which the reference applies; the 'total amount' and the 'specific amount', the 'activity' of the economic operator in this reference, the period of time the execution or performance took, whether this reference must be treated as confidential or not, and the 'receipients' of this reference.
The Extended is able to keep in the XML documents the national sub-criteria defined by the MS in e-Certis.
For both models, Basic and Extended, there are three criteria with the same data structure (works, supplies and services references):
- CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.REFERENCES.WORKS_PERFORMANCE
- CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.REFERENCES.SUPPLIES_DELIVERY_PERFORMANCE
- CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.REFERENCES.SERVICES_DELIVERY_PERFORMANCE

Difference between 'total amount' and 'specific amount' in a reference

The total amount refers to the amount of the contract, the specific refers to the amount of the contract a concrete reference is linked to. Two examples could be:

A contract for the acquisition of printers (Lot1) and the maintenance of the printers (Lot2). Your reference is about the maintenance only. Total amount: 1,000,000 € (Lot1 + Lot 2). Specific amount: 700,000.00 (Lot2, maintenance).
Building of a bridge. Total amount: 20,000,000 €. The reference is only about the asphalt provided for the bridge: specific amount 1,351,145.89 €.

VI.8.1 Basic references

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

In this example the contracting authority requires references for the contract, the nature of which is about works. Notice that in this case the Member State (Finland in this example) did not define any national criterion linked to the performance of works.

Figure 61. Basic 'References' CA mock-up

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective

The economic operator can add or remove as many references as needed (buttons '+' and 'paper-bin'). For each reference it will have to provide a description of the reference, the amount of the contract of that referenced work, the period of execution and who where the recipients of the work.

Figure 62. Basic 'References' CA mock-up' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Basic

The data structure is quite straight-forward, it is composed of multiple groups (cardinality 1..n) of description, amount, period and recipients:

VI.8.2 Extended references

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

As in the previous example, in this example about the Extended references the contracting authority requires references for the contract, the nature of which is also about works.

For the EXTENDED ESPDS, the contracting authority can specify these REQUIREMENT(s):

The Lots to which all the requirements it will issue must apply;
The minimum number of references expected;
One or more specific requirements in the form of free-texts (notice the buttons to add or remove the requirements.

Figure 64. Extended 'References' CA REQUIREMENT(s) edition mock-up

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective

In this EXTENDED view for the economic operator (EO) can see the lots and requirements specified by the contracting authority (CA), lower left side of the mock-up.
The EO can also list those Lots it tenders to that apply to the particular reference it is providing. Software applications should validate that the Lots supplied by the EO for a reference are in the range of those specified by the contracting authority.
The EO can provide a description for the reference, the total amount of the contract in which the reference was included, the amount for the specific works referenced, the period of execution and one or more groups of data about the recipients (name/description, contact person name and contact e-mail).
The EO can also state that one reference is confidential, in which case the reference will only be accessible to the evaluation team.

Figure 65. Extended 'References' EO mock-up

Non-validation of text content

NOTICE that the EO has made a mistake and for a "Works contracts: performance of works for the specified type" it is describing a Service. The Schematron-based validation solution cannot validate this situation as the description is a textual value.

For details on the Schematron-based validation solution see section Annex I: XML Validation.

Data Structure - Extended

The data structure for references caters for:

The definition of multiple national criteria associated to the EU criterion specified in e-Certis;
The creation of the Legislation component associated to the EU criterion;
One group of REQUIREMENT(s) for the contracting authority to specify the general requirements for this criterion (e.g. Lots the references apply to, minimun number of references);
Multiple groups (cardinality 1..n) of questions for the economic operator to answer; which in this case are multiple references to works about which the EO has to provide information and the lots the EO tenders to related to the references.

VI.9 Abilities

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to selection criteria in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0).

Table 1. Weighting
REQUIREMENT	In an open procedure the CA has to consider all tenders that pass the selection criteria. The contract is awarded based on award criteria. For two stage procedures it should be possible to weight the "Technical and professional ability" (the rest of selection criteria should be always PASS/FAIL). Weighting can be done either using percentage or points for one procedure. The CA should have a free text where they can describe the scoring methodology.

Differences between Basic and Extended

In the Basic the contracting authority cannot specify any REQUIREMENT. It is the economic operator that provides descriptive information (free-text field) about the technicians or bodies.
In the Extended the contracting authority can provide a specific REQUIREMENT. For this example the CA expects the economic operator to provide information about the group of technicians that will supply support to the users. The CA can add and remove as many requirements as needed.
In the Extended the economic operator (EO) sees the REQUIREMENT(s) specified by the CA and can provide different groups of information (which are not disjoint).
For procurement procedures organised in two stages the Extended ESPD allows the weighting of the technical and professional abilities.
The Extended is able to keep in the XML documents national sub-criteria defined by the MS in e-Certis.
The Basic ESPD defines two different data structures:
- One data structure to define up to eight Criteria (sharing the same data structure):
  - Technicians or technical bodies for quality control (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.TECHNICIANS_FOR_QUALITY_CONTROL)
  - For works contracts: technicians or technical bodies to carry out the work (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.TECHNICIANS_FOR_CARRYING_WORKS)
  - Technical facilities and measures for ensuring quality (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.FACILITIES_FOR_QUALITY_ENSURING)
  - Study and research facilities (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.FACILITIES_FOR_STUDY_RESEARCH)
  - Supply chain management (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.SUPPLY_CHAIN_MANAGEMENT)
  - Educational and professional qualifications (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.PROFESSIONAL_QUALIFICATIONS)
  - Environmental management measures (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.ENVIRONMENTAL_MANAGEMENT_MEASURES)
  - Tools, plant or technical equipment (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.EQUIPMENT)
- One data structure to define the Allowance of Checks:
  - Allowance of checks (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.CHECKS.ALLOWANCE_OF_CHECKS)
- One more data structure to define criteria related to the contractor’s staff:
  - Number of managerial staff (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.MANAGEMENT.MANAGERIAL_STAFF)
  - Average annual manpower (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.MANAGEMENT.AVERAGE_ANNUAL_MANPOWER)
The Extended ESPD, in turn, supplies a richer set of (five) data structures thus facilitating a greater semantic interoperability:
- One data structure to define two ability criteria related to technicians:
  - Technicians or technical bodies for quality control (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.TECHNICIANS_FOR_QUALITY_CONTROL)
  - For works contracts: technicians or technical bodies to carry out the work (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.TECHNICIANS_FOR_CARRYING_WORKS)
- One data structure to define a miscellania of five criteria that can share the same data structure:
  - Technical facilities and measures for ensuring quality (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.FACILITIES_FOR_QUALITY_ENSURING)
  - Study and research facilities (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.FACILITIES_FOR_STUDY_RESEARCH)
  - Supply chain management (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.SUPPLY_CHAIN_MANAGEMENT)
  - Environmental management measures (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.ENVIRONMENTAL_MANAGEMENT_MEASURES)
  - Tools, plant or technical equipment (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.EQUIPMENT)
- One data structure to define abilities related to the education and professional qualifications of the contractor or service provider:
  - Educational and professional qualifications (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.PROFESSIONAL_QUALIFICATIONS)
- And one more data structure to define the allowance of checks:
  - Allowance of checks (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.TECHNICAL.CHECKS.ALLOWANCE_OF_CHECKS)
- One data structure to define two abilities related to the contractor’s staff:
  - Number of managerial staff (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.MANAGEMENT.MANAGERIAL_STAFF)
  - Average annual manpower (CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.MANAGEMENT.AVERAGE_ANNUAL_MANPOWER)

VI.9.2 Basic Abilities (II) - Checks

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

The contracting authority has selected the 'allowance of checks' option in a ESPD Request builder software application GUI. This criterion will be included in the ESDP Request XML instance.

Figure 70. Basic 'checks' CA mock-up

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective

The economic operator has only to answer Yes or No in response.

Figure 71. Basic 'checks' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Basic

The data structure for this criterion is quite straightforward, it only contains a group of one QUESTION which has to be answered with Yes or No, thus the expected property data type INDICATOR.

VI.9.4 Extended Abilities (I) - Persons

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective (PASS/FAIL, non-weighted)

Extended 'Abilities (I)' CA REQUIREMENT mock-up

Figure 76. Extended 'Abilities (I)' CA REQUIREMENT edition mock-up

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective (PASS/FAIL, non-weighted)

As you see from the mock-up below the economic operator can add and remove technicians and bodies associated to one CA’s REQUIREMENT. In this case the REQUIREMENT specified by the CA is the type of technical assistance the EO’s teams must provide.

Figure 77. Extended 'Abilities (I)' EO mock-up

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective (WEIGHTED)

In two-stages procedures the contracting authority may like to score EOs in the evaluation phase and would like to inform the EO in a transparent way how it will weight them. The mock-up below shows a possible GUI for the CA to set this information and other additional requirements related to the weighting:

Figure 78. Extended 'Abilities (I)' WEIGHTED CA REQUIREMENT edition mock-up

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective (WEIGHTED)

Figure 79. Extended 'Abilities (I)' WEIGHTED EO mock-up

Data Structure - Extended

(The figure below is defined in the the tab ''SC-Abilities_1 (Persons)'' of the ESPD-CriteriaTaxonomy spread-sheet).

In this data structure the first REQUIREMENT set by the contracting authority is whether the criterion is to be WEIGHTED or not (the opposito to WEIGHTED is PASS/FAIL, see the Code List EvaluationMethodType).

Either if it is weighted or not one important aspect here is that the sub-groups of QUESTION(s), the one for the technicians and the one for the technical bodies, can be repeated several times, one time per each technician or body the economic operator decides to add (thus the cardinalities 0..n for both sub-groups).

Figure 80. EXTENDED 'Abilities (I)(Persons)' criterion data structure

XML Example - Extended (WEIGHTED)

The XML example below shows the REQUIREMENT(s) and QUESTION(s). See the section "IX.2 All about weights" for this same example followed by the responses.

Notice that the data is distributed in three places:

Some root elements (directly under the root element of the /QualificationApplicationResponse. Observe that in the case of elements cbc:Description UBL-2.2 does always specify a multiple cardinality. This allows for separating the lines of the text thus facilitating its presentation for layout purposes.
The criterion itself; see circled numbers and comments beneath the XML code;
The data structure (see the EXTENDED spread-sheet tab SC-Abilities_1).

Criterion "Technicians or technical bodies for quality control" (EXTENDED and WEIHGTED)

<!-- root elements that are global for all weighted criteria -->
<cbc:WeightScoringMethodologyDescription>For weighted criteria, evaluators will allocate a score between 0 and 100 to each question reponse in accordance with the scoring guidance below:</cbc:WeightScoringMethodologyDescription>(3)
<cbc:WeightScoringMethodologyDescription>0 Unnaceptable</cbc:WeightScoringMethodologyDescription>
<cbc:WeightScoringMethodologyDescription>25 Poor</cbc:WeightScoringMethodologyDescription>

<cbc:WeightScoringMethodologyDescription>Suppliers must pass all of the pass/fail (Yes/No) questions and score a minimum of 75 overall in this section to proceed to the next stage. This will allows us to get a short list of suppliers to take through to the next stage. The final score for a criterion (or "Weighted Question Score") results from the product of the Score obtained and the weight allocated by the Contracting Authority to the criterion.</cbc:WeightScoringMethodologyDescription>

1	The contracting authority (CA) selects that some criteria shall will be weighted.
2	The CA decides that the weights will be expressed as percentages.
3	The CA describes the general method used to score and evaluated the weighted criteria. As this, and the previous (#2 and #3) are global these data go in two XML document root elements.
4	This criterion is weighted (default is set to PASS/FAIL).
5	The weight assigned to this criterion by the CA is 10%.
6	The CA provides additional information related to the evaluation of this specific criterion. The expected data value is 'DESCRIPTION' → `cbc:Description`. As in UBL-2.2 descriptions are always multiple cardinality elements this is used to distribute the information in multiple description lines.
7	First Name of the technician (data about one technician starts here (circled numbers #7 to #13). Multiple technicians can be added/removed by the economic operator).
8	Family name of the technician.
9	Profession of the technician.
10	Experience of the technician.

<!-- Rest of elements removed for brevity -->

1	The fact that the criterion is weighted implies that the procedure will go throught at least of stages of the evaluation, the first one is used to exclude and select EOs, the second or other subsequent evaluation stages will be used to short-list and rank the best tenders based on the relative weights of the selected criteria that are weighted. See section "IX Putting all pieces together/IX.2 All about weights" for more details. In this example, the relative weight assigned by the CA to this criterion is 5%.
2	The fact that the criterion is weighted is also announce wiht the code WEIGHTED, in the element `cac:EvaluationMethodTypeCode`. This can be used by automated techniques (e.g. DPS, eAuction, other) to apply automated evaluation processes.
3	Additional information used for clarifications and transparency purposes.
4	Main group of REQUIREMENTs and QUESTIONs.
5	The following property announces that the criterion will be weigthed. In principle it had a two-fold goal: 1) to make know the EO about the fact that it will be used in a second (or subsequent) stage of the evaluation for its ranking; and 2) for the evaluator (or system proposing automated evaluation results, to use it during the evaluation phase. However it is, in fact, superfluous or redundant, as this information is also indicated in the `cbc:EvaluationMethodTypeCode` (type WEIGHTED) and of the relative weight value assigned to the element `cbc:WeightNumeric`(5% in this example). Additionally, The data about the criterion weight in criteria #40 and #50 is needed by the GUI for the contracting authority to be asked about the specific weight of one criterion.
6	Notice that multiple subgroups of REQUIREMENT + QUESTION can be used to specify multiple requirements. The 1st. Subgroup of REQUIREMENT and QUESTION: Subgroup specifically used for facilities starts here.
7	Requirement specifically aimed to ask for details about the facility security measures. The second subgroup of REQUIREMENT + QUESTION will ask about other aspects: the degree of alignement to an ISO.
8	Sub-subgroup containing the QUESTION that will be used in the Response as a reference for the Response of the EO to theREQUIREMENT in the previous subgroup.
9	This UUID will be used in the Response providing the text that will be used by the evaluators. Beware that the UUID is not illustrated in the spread-sheet data structure because it is generated automatically.
10	Subgroup for evidences. The EO can use it to, in the response to it (in the ESPD-Response), make the information required available online. The URL should be in the domain of the EO.
11	The 2nd. Subgroup of REQUIREMENT + QUESTION starts here, in this case to ask about for other specificic quality measures (e.g. alignment to the ISO 9000).

VI.9.6 Extended Abilities (III) - Education

Data Structure - Extended (Education)

(The figure below is defined in the the tab ''SC_Abilities_3 (Education)'' of the ESPD-CriteriaTaxonomy spread-sheet).

Figure 82. Extended 'Abilities (III) (Education)' criterion data structure

Use of the EC’s ESCO Taxonomy for Skills, Competences and Occupations (and Qualifications)

Notice that in the Data Structure above there is the field ''If possible please indicate the ESCO identifier for this qualification'', and that the expected type of data is 'URL'.

ESCO is a multilingual classification that identifies and categorises skills, competences, qualifications and occupations relevant for the EU labour market and education. It is being developed (maintained) by the European Commission since 2010. The taxonomy can be downloaded from this link.

The reason why the expected type of data is a URL is because in ESCO taxonomy each concept is identified with a URI (A Uniform Resource Identifier, and URI can be used as locators, i.e. URL are URIs).

ESCO is legally supported by the REGULATION (EU) 2016/589 of 13 April 2016 (the EURES Regulation) and two Implementing Decisions:

Commission Implementing Decision No 2018/1020 establishes the list of skills, competences and occupations of the European classification (ESCO) to be used for the operation of the EURES common IT platform as provided for in Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2016/589 and lays down the procedures to update and review this list.
Commission Implementing Decision No 2018/1021 lays down the technical standards and formats necessary for the operation of the automated matching through the common IT platform using the European classification (ESCO) and the interoperability between national systems and the European classification.

VI.9.7 Extended Abilities (IV) - Checks

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

The contracting authority has selected the 'allowance of checks' option in a ESPD Request builder software application GUI. This software application will create a criterion of this in the ESPD Request XML instance with zero, one or more REQUIREMENT(s) by the EO.

The contracting authority (CA) can specify none, one or several REQUIREMENT(s). In this case a REQUIREMENT is a descriptive text provided by the CA where the criterion is better explained or where certain conditions relating to the criterion. In this example the CA is specifying which type of premises it wants to check and for which reasons.

Extended 'Checks' CA REQUIREMENT mock-up

Figure 83. Extended 'allowance of checks' CA REQUIREMENT edition mock-up

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective

The EO should see as many boxes (groups) of REQUIREMENT + QUESTION as REQUIREMENT(s) specified by the CA. In this case the economic operator (EO) sees one REQUIREMENT associated to one QUESTION. The expected answer is Yes or No.

Figure 84. Extended 'allowance of checks' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Extended

The data structure below shows how this criterion is organised. Notice the following:

The Member State can associate one or more national criteria to this EU criterion (element sub-criterion, cardinality 0..n).
The criterion can be associated to one or more pieces of legislation (this spread-sheet does not focus on the edition of the legislation element; the transformation style-sheet will generate dummy values for this element).
At least one REQUIREMENT group will always be created. If the CA specified more than one REQUIREMENT(s), more groups of REQUIREMENT + QUESTION would be added to the ESPD Request XML instance.
If not specific REQUIREMENT is issued by the CA, the REQUIREMENT group should equally be created and the REQUIREMENT value should be replaced with a literal (e.g. 'No specific requirements').

(Some columns have been hidden to enhance the readability of the image).

VI.10 Subcontracting proportion

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to selection criteria in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0).

Differences between Basic and Extended

For this criterion, the only difference between the Basic and Extended models lies in the fact that the Extended XML instance is able to keep national sub-criteria defined by the Member State in e-Certis.
For both models, Basic and Extended, there is only one criterion with a simple data structure, classified as:
- CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.MANAGEMENT.SUBCONTRACTING_PROPORTION

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective (Basic and Extended)

The contracting authority selects the criterion to be included in the ESPD Request:

Figure 87. 'Subcontracting proportion' CA mock-up (Basic and Extended)

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective (Basic and Extended)

The economic operator has to provide a descriptive response in a free-text field:

Data Structure - Basic

The data structure is very simple, it only defines a group with one QUESTION:

(Some columns have been hidden to enhance the readability of the image).

Basic 'Subcontracting proportion' criterion data structure

Figure 89. 'Subcontracting proportion' criterion data structure (Basic)

Data Structure - Extended

The difference with the Basic model is that the Extended is able to define and keep in the XML instance the national sub-criteria. But, as sub-criteria are optional, if the MS did not defined any national sub-criterion then the data structure would enn up being the same than for both cases.

(Some columns have been hidden to enhance the readability of the image).

VI.11 Samples and certificates

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to selection criteria in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0).

Differences between Basic and Extended

For this criteria, the only difference between the Basic and Extended versions lies in the fact that the Extended XML instance is able to keep national sub-criteria defined by the Member State in e-Certis.
For both versions, Basic and Extended, there are two criteria that share the same data structure, classified as:
- CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.MANAGEMENT.ARTEFACTS.NO_AUTHENTICATED_ARTEFACTS
- CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.MANAGEMENT.ARTEFACTS.AUTHENTICATED_ARTEFACTS

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective (Basic and Extended)

The contracting authority selects the criteria that have to be included in the ESPD Request, e.g.:

Figure 91. 'Samples and certificates' CA mock-up (Basic and Extended)

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective (Basic and Extended)

The economic operator only has to answer Yes or No. The GUI does not react in any way either the EO clicks one or the other (which is not the case for other criteria, see for example the behaviour of the criteria about 'quality assurance' below in further sections).

VI.12 Quality assurance

Related information requirements

See formal requirements related to selection criteria in the BIS 41 - European Single Procurement Document (Version 2.0.0).

Differences between Basic and Extended

In the Basic ESPD the contracting authority (CA) cannot specify REQUIREMENT(s).
For both models, Basic and Extended, the economic operator is expected to answer Yes or No.
- If the EO answers Yes the EO will be asked whether there are evidences available online.
- In the case the EO answers NO it will have to provide additional explanations.
In the Extended ESPD the contracting authority can provide as many REQUIREMENT(s) as needed in a textual field, normally the type of standard it expects the EO conforms to, e.g. 'ISO 9001', 'EMAS', etc. (but it could issue any other type of REQUIREMENT as a text).
The Extended is able to keep in the XML documents national sub-criteria defined by the MS in e-Certis.
For both models, Basic and Extended, there are three criteria that share the same data structure, classified as:
- CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.CERTIFICATES.QUALITY_ASSURANCE.QA_INSTITUTES_CERTIFICATE
- CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.CERTIFICATES.QUALITY_ASSURANCE.QA_INDEPENDENT_CERTIFICATE
- CRITERION.SELECTION.TECHNICAL_PROFESSIONAL_ABILITY.CERTIFICATES.ENVIRONMENTAL_MANAGEMENT.ENV_INDEPENDENT_CERTIFICATE

VI.12.1 Basic Quality Assurance schemes and environmental management standards

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

Figure 95. Basic 'Quality Assurance schemes and environmental management standards' CA mock-up

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective

Notice that in the case where the economic operator answers No the box with the text "If not, please explain why and specify which other means …" is shown. This box is not shown for the Yes answer. This behaviour can be controlled with the ONFALSE code of the sub-group of QUESTION(s) (see data structure and XML example below, too).

When the EO answers Yes it will be asked whether online evidences are available online or not. This is controlled by the code ONTRUE assigned to the sub-group of QUESTION(s) about the evidence (see data structure and XML example).

Figure 96. Basic 'Quality Assurance schemes and environmental management standards' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Basic

Notice the ONFALSE code for the sub-group containing the sentence thats starts with 'If not, please explain why…'. The code means: if the answer to the previous question was No then this sub-group must be shown/processed.

VI.12.2 Extended Quality Assurance schemes and environmental management standards

Mock-ups - contracting authority perspective

In the Extended ESPD the contracting authority can specify a REQUIREMENT. In this example it provides the name of the ISO it expects the economic operator to be conformant to.

Figure 98. Extended 'Quality Assurance schemes and environmental management standards' CA mock-up

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective

Notice that, as for the Basic ESPD the economic operator (EO) has to answer Yes or No. In the case the EO answers No the box with the text "If not, please explain why and specify which other means …" is shown. This box is not shown for the Yes answer. This behaviour can be controlled with the ONFALSE code of the sub-group of QUESTION(s) (see data structure and XML example below, too).

Figure 99. Extended 'Quality Assurance schemes and environmental management standards' EO mock-up

Data Structure - Extended

Notice the following:

In principle the contracting authority (CA) has to provide at least one REQUIREMENT. But it might decide not to provide any requirement at all, in which case the behaviour of the GUI would be similar to the one for the Basic ESPD. In this case do not to alter the data structure (e.g. not to remove the REQUIREMENT_GROUP) and to provide a text for REQUIREMENT such as, for example, 'No specific requirements'.
The ONFALSE code for the sub-group containing the sentence thats starts with 'If not, please explain why…' means: if the answer to the previous question was No then this sub-group must be shown/processed.
If ONTRUE (answer to previous QUESTION = Yes) then the question about the online evidences is shown/processed.

(Some columns have been hidden to enhance the readability of the image).
