Contract execution
Legal form to be taken by the group of economic operators to whom the contract is to be awarded:

Groups of economic operators may put themselves forward as a Tenderer. In order to submit a Tender, these groups may initially not be required by HSE to assume a specific legal form. However HSE may require the group selected to assume a legal form or put in place alternative legal arrangements prior to entry into the Contract, to the extent that this is necessary for the satisfactory performance of the Contract. Tenders should clearly state which entities are proposed to be members of the consortium, which are to be sub-contractors and how each firm would be jointly and severally liable to HSE for the fulfilment of the terms of the Contract. Subsequent changes to the members of the consortium may result in disqualification of that group from the Tender Process.

A Tenderer may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal standing it has with them. In such cases the Tenderer must prove to HSE that it will have the necessary resources at its disposal, for example, producing an undertaking by those entities to that effect.
