Regulation 59. Regulations on how groups of economic operators shall meet the requirements

(1) Where necessary, contracting authorities or contracting entities may clarify in the concession documents how groups of economic operators shall meet the requirements as to economic and financial standing or technical and professional ability referred to in regulations 77 and 78 provided that this is justified by objective reasons and is proportionate.

(2) Contracting authorities may establish standard terms for how groups of economic operators are to meet the requirements in sub-regulation (1).
