The bidder is excluded if it is bankrupt, in liquidation, subject to bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings, has suspended business activity, or is in a similar situation. Another exclusion ground is tax, fee or environmental charge debt, or tax or social security contribution debt, unless it has been deferred or paid. If the information cannot be checked in public registers, the contracting authority may request evidence issued no more than two weeks before the deadline for submitting tenders. The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds listed in points 1–3 and 5 of section 95(1) of the Public Procurement Act apply and that it is not a related person to the technical consultant advising the beneficiary on the reconstruction of the apartment building. In a joint tender, this applies to all joint bidders. If the required confirmations or evidence are not submitted and the information cannot be verified from public registers, the bidder is given 10 calendar days to remedy the deficiency; after that period the bidder may be excluded.

The bidder must be registered in the construction activity area, or as a foreign bidder provide an equivalent proof. If electrical works are performed, the bidder must also have registration for electrical works or an equivalent proof. The bidder’s net turnover for the financial year preceding the start of the procurement must be at least equal to twice the estimated contract value excluding VAT. A proof of the previous year’s net turnover must be submitted with the bid.

A foreign bidder may prove competence with an equivalent document. Within the last 60 months, the bidder must have carried out at least one equivalent construction project with a value of at least half of the estimated contract value.
