The bidder must have, during the 60 months before the start of the procurement, properly performed at least three contracts for electrical construction works similar to the subject of the contract, and at least one of them must have had a value of at least EUR 40,000 excluding VAT. The bidder must submit a list of the contracts showing the performance period, information about the other contracting party, and, in public procurement cases, the reference number.
