The purpose of the candidature phase is to identify and evaluate all the economic operators that will ultimately, in their different roles, execute the contractual job.
Therefore, it has to be clarified upfront if all the members of the “business network” will be involved in some of the proposed activities or not.
If only one of them does not intend to participate as such, but for instance, they are only willing to offer some of their references to facilitate the candidature of other network members, then the former will fall under the category of “involved third parties” and must be identified as such. Of course in that case, the remaining network members will have to be presented as forming a consortium or “other form of temporary grouping” and the advantage of mentioning a “business network” will no longer exist.
If on the other hand, all the members of the “business network” are 1) available, 2) willing and 3) identified in their specific roles pertaining to the contractual phase (inclusive of e.g. CVs of involved people etc.) then there is no obstacle to the participation of the entire “business network” as composed of N members. However, each of the N members will have to upload the required documentation for the evaluation of their joint candidature, as specified in articles 3.3-3.4-3.5 of the tender regulations.
