Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the mandatory exclusion grounds in the tender documents, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption and other criminal conviction grounds listed in the ESPD. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may need to provide evidence of self-cleaning, where allowed by the procurement rules or the tender documents. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds, so the official tender documents must be checked.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must meet the qualification and compliance requirements set out in the ESPD and the tender documents. The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification requirements, so they must be checked in the official tender documents. As compliance requirements, the bidder must confirm that the bid complies with the tender documents, submit the completed Annex 2 price schedule, and state the warranty period offered, which must be at least 12 months for the performed works and for spare parts and consumables replaced during the works. The bidder must also confirm that the bid is unconditional, that equivalence has been explained where needed, and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions. In the case of a joint bid, an authorised representative must be appointed and a power of attorney for the joint bidders must be attached. The machine-readable notice did not include any specific financial turnover, reference project, staff or certificate requirements; these must be checked in the official tender documents if applicable.
