Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Dutch term or phrase: beroepen op
**Beroep op** de draagkracht van andere entiteiten en onderaanneming

De geselecteerde Kandidaten die een Eerste Offerte voor de Opdracht indienen (hierna, “Inschrijvers”), moeten gedurende de verdere plaatsingsprocedure aan de gestelde eisen blijven voldoen.

Eenzelfde verplichting geldt ten aanzien van de eventuele andere entiteiten op wier draagkracht de geselecteerde Kandidaat zich in de selectiefase heeft **beroepen** teneinde aan de eisen inzake economische en financiële draagkracht en/of technische en beroepsbekwaamheid te voldoen.

De Aanbestedende Entiteit behoudt zich het recht voor de selectie van een reeds geselecteerde Kandidaat of Inschrijver te herzien, in welk stadium van de plaatsingsprocedure ook.


Hi all,
I'm struggling to find the correct translation for "beroepen op" in this context. I am leaning more towards "refer to" or something like "rely" or "fall back on".
Thanks in advance!

invoke


Explanation:
It looks like this was mistaken as a prepositional verb.

In this passage, the op belongs to “op wier” (on whose) and not to beroepen.

The verb here is "zich beroepen” which could be translated as to invoke.

Invoke collocates well with capacities.

The following passage is taken from this document:
https://www.devex.com/funding/r?report=tender-149482&filter[...

Candidates who invoke the capacities of other entities in respect of subcontracting must indicate in their request to participate the proportion of the contract which will be subcontracted

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Kitty Brussaard: 'Invoke' is out of context here. In this specific context (i.e. reliance on capacities of other entities when bidding), 'rely on' is the most commonly used EN equivalent. Note also that 'zich beroepen op' IS a prepositional (and reflexive) verb in Dutch.

rely upon


Explanation:
Fits the context better than "rely on".
Thus the phrase should be translated as follows:
op wier draagkracht de geselecteerde Kandidaat zich in de selectiefase heeft beroepen = upon the capabilities of which the selected Candidate has relied, in the selection phase.
