Compliance requirements
The machine-readable notice includes standard exclusion grounds from the ESPD, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and other mandatory exclusion checks. The bidder must confirm the answers and, where applicable, provide details of convictions, dates, reasons, the persons concerned, exclusion periods and any self-cleaning measures. If the exclusion ground applies, the bidder may need to show that reliability has been restored, if allowed by the procurement documents or the applicable rules. The notice also requires confirmation that the bidder and its authorised persons are not subject to the relevant exclusion grounds, and that tax and social security obligations can be evidenced.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must submit the technical description of the offered product and the information needed to verify compliance, including the product name, specifications, datasheets or other relevant information. The tender must comply with the technical requirements set out in the procurement documents, and where necessary evidence explaining equivalence must be attached. In the case of a joint tender, an authorised representative must be appointed and a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be included. If the bidder relies on authorised persons, their names and personal identification code or date of birth must be provided if they are not visible from the commercial register. The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification or financial requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
