Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds under Section 95(1) of the Public Procurement Act apply. In practice, this means the bidder and the persons who manage or represent it must not have convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, illegal employment of foreigners, child labour or human trafficking. The bidder must also have no tax, social security or environmental tax debts, and the contract must not conflict with international sanctions or sanctions of the Government of the Republic.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents. As compliance requirements, the bidder must submit the tender in the structure set by the contracting authority and use the required price offer form, confirm that the tender is unconditional, and, in the case of a joint tender, attach a power of attorney for the joint bidders. If the bidder wishes to mark information as a trade secret, it must briefly describe and justify it, but the tender price and other numerical indicators related to evaluation may not be treated as trade secrets.
