Purchase of a ladder truck with warranty-period regular maintenance, emergency repair orders and spare parts

The bidder must confirm the standard exclusion grounds in the tender documents, including convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and other mandatory exclusion grounds listed in the ESPD. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may provide evidence of self-cleaning where allowed. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds; the exact grounds must be checked in the tender documents.

The bidder must have prior experience of manufacturing and selling at least 1 ladder truck equipped with a fire engine pump within the 36 months before the start of the procurement. The contract or transaction must have been properly performed, and the bidder must provide at least the buyer’s name, the time of performance and the buyer’s contact person in the ESPD. The tender must remain valid for 3 calendar months from the deadline for submission. Conditional tenders are not allowed. The bidder must ensure after-sales service for the rescue vehicle in Estonia. By the time the ladder truck is handed over, the bidder or its partner must have an authorised or accepted service point for the chassis manufacturer in Harjumaa with qualified staff, and for the superstructure it must have qualified staff and a mobile service point for regular maintenance, warranty repairs and emergency repairs. If the service points are not the bidder’s own, the relevant legal entities must be included as joint bidders or subcontractors and their ESPDs must be submitted. In the case of a joint bid, a power of attorney from the joint bidders must also be attached. The bidder must confirm that the tender complies with all tender document requirements, that equivalence has been explained where necessary and that proof of equivalence has been attached, and that the offered goods meet the required specifications. Where the contracting authority refers to a standard or other technical specification, it must be understood as including the words “or equivalent”.
