9 Selection & Adjudication Criteria
With a view to improving the distribution of its purchases among its Member States, CERN has applied, for the selection of bidders to be invited to tender, and will apply for the award of the contract to a technically and financially qualified bidder the criteria set out in the document entitled Selection and Adjudication Criteria for Supply Contracts 9

10 Country of origin Supply contract: country(ies) in which the goods are manufactured or where the last major modification will take place. If at least 60% of the total amount of the bid comes from poorly balanced Member States, then the whole bid will be treated as that from a bidder in a poorly balanced Member State 10

11 Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland
Industrial Return Coefficients The return coefficient of a Member State for Supply contracts for a given twelve-month period starting on 1st March is defined as: The ratio between that Member State's percentage share of all purchases of supplies (excluding purchases funded by non-Member States) during the preceding four calendar years and that State's percentage contribution to the Budget over the same period. For the period and , a CERN Member State is considered to be well balanced if its Industrial Return Coefficient is: > 0.90 for Supply contracts; Otherwise, it is considered to be well balanced. The following countries are considered to be well-balanced in the period until for Supply contracts: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland 11

12 Verification of bids A. Verify calculations of all bids B. Check conformity of lowest bid 1. All requested documents submitted? 2. Bid technically compliant? Go to next lowest bid 3. Origin of bid? 4. Alignment? C. Contractual negotiations

13 The alignment rule For supply contracts to be awarded on the lowest compliant bid basis and exceeding 100’000 CHF in value Aimed at achieving well balanced industrial return coefficients for the Member States A bidder offering goods originating from poorly balanced Member States is offered to align his price, under certain conditions, to that of the lowest bidder and thereby be awarded the contract

14 The alignment rule, how it works*
Case 1: > 60% of value of lowest bid originates from Poorly Balanced Member States Contract Case 2: Lowest bid originates from Well Balanced Member States CERN asks first bidder proposing bid with ≥ 60% of value originating from Poorly Balanced Member States to align price (if price difference < 20%) Ok Contract Not ok b. CERN asks second bidder proposing bid with ≥ 60% of value originating from Poorly Balanced Member States to align price (if price difference < 20%) Ok Contract Not ok c. CERN awards contract to lowest bidder * Applies only to technically compliant bids Contract 14

15 Price Basis All prices shall be quoted in CHF or EUR (if you wish to be paid in this currency), free of taxes, not subject to revision until 30 March 2019 15

16 Bank Guarantee No payment by CERN before provision of a bank guarantee. Bank guarantee: In favour of CERN Issued by a bank approved by CERN Rating of BBB+ at least or equivalent, with a proof of rating % of total amount of contract Valid until expiry of warranty of last batch of supply delivered 16

17 VAT Prices shall take into account CERN’s exoneration from VAT and import duties VAT shall be subject to the rules and invoicing instructions as defined under the following link: OR 17

20 Law Applicable to Contractor’s Personnel
20

21 Reminder According to its status CERN has the right to establish its own rules (i.e. SRR, safety rules, CPR) which are applicable to all HOWEVER: Contractors shall comply with common law as well as CERN rules 21

22 According to the principle of territoriality established under the Swiss-French agreement of 1965, contractors must comply with the law of their country of origin as well as with a number of provisions concerning the working conditions of their staff applicable in the country where services are executed 2 territories where services are executed = 2 applicable laws in addition to the one in their country of origin + + 22

23 2 territories where services are executed
The application of the principle of territoriality creates practical and legal problems for contractors and their staff. The two host countries, with CERN, have therefore defined a new system: 2 territories where services are executed = only 1 applicable law in addition to the one in their country of origin or + 23

24 Areas Concerned rest time & leave protection for young workers and pregnant women or have just given birth the minimum wage hygiene, safety and health at work equal treatment temporary work The other areas such as hiring, contract termination and personnel representation are not concerned by this new regime 24

25 4P The applicable law is determined on the basis of the Part Prépondérante Prévisible de la Prestation = 4P The 4P for this contract is located on the Swiss part of the CERN domain. The applicable law is thus Swiss law This rule applies to the entire contract, including subcontractors unless subcontracting concerns only one territory 25
