Compliance requirements
The tender documents include mandatory exclusion grounds, especially criminal convictions such as participation in a criminal organisation and corruption. The bidder must confirm whether any such ground applies to the bidder or to persons who represent or control the bidder. If an exclusion ground exists, the bidder may also need to explain any self-cleaning measures and provide supporting evidence. The machine-readable notice does not give the full list in a concise form, so the exact exclusion grounds must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents. The ESPD indicates that the bidder must confirm payment of taxes and social security contributions and provide the necessary evidence or electronic access details, but this extract does not contain exact financial, experience or team requirements. The compliance conditions state that the offer must comply with the tender documents, conditional offers are not allowed, a power of attorney must be attached in the case of a joint tender, and the tender price must be submitted in the required structure. The bidder must also provide the required evidence or certificates for the eco-label and lawful origin requirements for copy paper and drawing paper. The exact details must be verified in the tender documents.
