For each ground, the bidder must answer yes/no and, if relevant, provide the conviction date, reason, who was convicted, the exclusion period stated in the judgment, and any self-cleaning measures taken. The notice also includes the standard possibility to provide evidence of reliability restoration where allowed by law or the tender documents. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds; the exact grounds must be checked in the official tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise selection, suitability or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the official tender documents. However, the compliance conditions require the bidder to confirm that it will not use subcontractors or suppliers for more than 10% of the contract value if they are Russian citizens, residents or entities established in the Russian Federation, or entities more than 50% owned by such persons or acting on their instructions. The bidder must also confirm whether the bid is a joint bid and, if so, that the joint bidders' power of attorney has been attached, that the bid complies with the tender documents, that equivalence has been explained where necessary, and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned areas.
