For economical and ecological reasons, we strongly recommend that you submit your files on paper (no plastic folder or divider). We also suggest you use double-sided printing wherever possible.

All data included in this EOI must concern only the legal entity or entities making the EOI.

Any additional documentation (brochures, letters etc.) not specifically requested and sent with your EOI will not be taken into consideration. EOIs submitted by a consortium (i.e. either a permanent, legally-established grouping or a grouping set up informally for a specific tender procedure) must follow the instructions applicable to the consortium leader and its members.

A consultant may, where appropriate and for a particular contract, rely on the capacities of other entities, regardless of the legal nature of the links which it has with them. If they do, they must prove to the CARICOM Secretariat that they have the resources needed to perform the contract, for example by producing an undertaking from those entities to place resources at their disposal. Such entities, for instance the parent company of the consultant, must respect the same rules of eligibility as the economic operator.
