Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the mandatory exclusion grounds in the tender documents, including convictions related to participation in a criminal organisation, corruption and fraud. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may be allowed to provide evidence of self-cleaning, where this is permitted by the procurement documents or by law. 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 show annual net turnover of at least EUR 1,000,000 in each of the last two completed financial years. As preliminary evidence, the bidder must confirm the turnover figures for the last two years; the successful bidder must also submit an extract from the reports for the last two completed financial years if the data are not publicly available to the contracting authority from an official register. For technical capacity, the bidder must have carried out at least 2 full-service international digital marketing campaigns within the last 36 months before the start of the procurement, acting as the main contractor and performing at least project management, strategy and creative concept development, production and campaign implementation. Each campaign must have had a value of at least EUR 30,000 excluding VAT. A list of campaigns must be submitted, including the campaign name, client contact details, contract and campaign start and end dates, countries, target group, short description, value, bidder’s role and tasks. In addition, CVs must be submitted for the project manager, digital marketing specialist, creative director, designer, copywriter and digital marketing strategist in the forms required by the tender documents. The bidder must also confirm compliance with the tender documents, provide a power of attorney in the case of a joint bid, and submit any required equivalence explanations and evidence.
