Participation & suitability
4 eligibility criteria
EK 1 Technical capability in the tendered disciplines (company references)
TEXFY assessment: What this means: Experience – whether you have carried out comparable contracts, shown with references.
A corresponding reference from the tenderer must be submitted for each suitability criterion (EK 1.1 to EK 1.5). Several suitability criteria can be demonstrated by a single project, provided that the respective requirements are clearly evident. Alternatively, separate reference projects can be submitted for individual suitability criteria.
The submitted company references must demonstrate services comparable to the tendered project in terms of task, state of the art and complexity, and must mandatorily fulfill the requirements listed below:
EK1.1 Overall management / overall coordination (incl. construction management)
- SIA partial phases 32-53
- Project completion within the last 10 years
- Total construction costs > CHF 3 million
EK1.2 Civil engineering
- SIA partial phases 32-53
- Project completion within the last 10 years
EK1.3 Building construction / structural engineering
- SIA partial phases 32-53
- Project completion within the last 10 years
- Construction costs in the discipline > CHF 2 million
- Volume > 3000 m³
EK1.4 Plant engineering
- SIA partial phases 32-53
- Project completion within the last 10 years
- New construction of a heat pump with a thermal output of more than 2 MW and
a natural refrigerant
- Boiler with a thermal output of more than 5 MW
EK1.5 Geology
- SIA partial phases 32-53
- Project completion within the last 10 years
For areas EK1.1-EK1.5, it is expected that SIA partial phases 32 to 53 are completed or have been realized in essential parts. If these requirements cannot be met by a single reference project, two references may be submitted which together cover all requested phases.
The company references for EK1.2 - EK1.5 may come from a sub-planner. In this case, the tenderer must enclose a confirmation from the sub-planner stating that they will execute the work if awarded the contract.
EK 2 Appropriate ratio of contract amount per year to the turnover of the relevant corporate unit (i.e. relevant division according to the present project) per year (max. 30%)
TEXFY assessment: What this means: Finances – whether your company is financially sound and adequately insured, e.g. with a debt enforcement extract and proof of insurance.
The average annual fee for this contract must not exceed 30% of the average annual turnover of the corporate unit or division responsible for the project.
The calculation is made for all tenderers on the same basis:
- Annual fee: Total offered fee including incidental costs and minus discount, excl. VAT, divided by three.
- Average annual turnover: Sum of turnovers for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025, excl. VAT, divided by three.
The annual turnovers must be stated in document C. In the case of planner consortia, the turnovers of the participating corporate units are added together for each year.
The three years form the fixed calculation basis for this suitability assessment.
EK 3 Sufficient proficiency in the BIM methodology
TEXFY assessment: What this means: Approach – how you tackle the contract, described in a concept or an analysis of the task.
1 project reference demonstrating experience with the BIM methodology in a comparable task. The project reference must have completed SIA phase 3.
If the required reference comes from a sub-planner, the tenderer must enclose a confirmation from the sub-planner that they will execute the work if awarded the contract.
The BIM platform is to be provided by the tenderer. The specification of the selected BIM platform must be enclosed with the bid and the details in document C2 must be filled out.
EK 4 Organizational and financial capability
TEXFY assessment: What this means: Finances – whether your company is financially sound and adequately insured, e.g. with a debt enforcement extract and proof of insurance.
Signed self-declaration C1.

ZK 2 Order and project analysis
30 %
TEXFY assessment: What this means: Approach – how you tackle the contract, described in a concept or an analysis of the task.

TEXFY assessment: What this means: Personnel – how qualified and experienced the people carrying out the contract are, such as the project manager.
Information on the education and professional experience of the designated key personnel:
1 project reference with comparable complexity and task of the key person involved in the project. The specified references should essentially demonstrate the function, the main focus of tasks and the experience gained. The (partial) phases processed by the key person and specified as a reference must be completed. If the required references come from a sub-planner, the tenderer must enclose a confirmation from the sub-planner that they will execute the work if awarded the contract.
German language skills (native language or at least language competence level C1)
References must be provided for the following key personnel:
- Overall management / coordination
