Compliance requirements
The tender documents include the standard exclusion grounds. The bidder must confirm that neither the company nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members, nor persons authorised to represent, decide for or control the company, have been finally convicted within the last five years for offences such as participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or other forms of human trafficking, fraud, or terrorist acts and related offences. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may need to provide evidence of self-cleaning where allowed. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds; the exact requirements must be checked in the official tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the commercial register of its country of establishment, if required by that country's law. The bidder's average annual turnover for the last financial years completed by the start of the procurement must be at least EUR 41,331,818 per year for the period 01/01/2023–31/12/2025. The liquidity ratio, meaning current assets divided by current liabilities, must not be below 1. The successful bidder must provide extracts from the three most recently completed annual reports showing turnover, unless those data are publicly and freely available to the contracting authority. The ESPD also requires confirmation of the specified financial ratios and the calculation result. The exact team requirements are set out in Annex 1 to the contract special conditions, point 9; the machine-readable notice does not spell out the team composition, so it must be checked in the tender documents. When submitting the bid, the bidder must complete Form 2 Bill of Quantities as an Excel file and, in the case of a joint bid, submit a power of attorney. The bid must comply with all conditions set out in the tender documents. The machine-readable notice did not include the precise compliance requirements, so they must be checked in the official tender documents.
