Please note that in relation to section III.1.2 and III.1.3, a candidate may rely on the capacities of other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subsupplier), regardless of the legal nature of the links between them. In this case, the candidate shall ensure that DALO receives his own ESPD together with a separate ESPD with the relevant information for each of the entities that the candidate relies on. Additionally, where the candidate wants to rely on the capacities of other entities, the candidate shall prove to DALO that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary, for example, by producing a commitment or other documentation from those entities confirming their legal obligation to provide the necessary resources for the duration of the contract, e.g. by completing the form for submission of commitment.
