Compliance requirements
The bidder must not have national or local tax debts exceeding the statutory threshold. The bidder must not have been convicted of a serious offence in the last five years in a way that calls its professional reliability into question. The bidder must not be bankrupt, in liquidation or restructuring, and its activities must not have been suspended by law. The bidder must confirm that none of these exclusion grounds apply and that it does not engage a subcontractor who would be subject to replacement. The machine-readable notice did not include any more precise exclusion grounds; the rest must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must prove prior experience: since 01/01/2023, at least two solar power plant construction projects with an output of at least 30 kW must have been completed. For each project, the address and output must be provided. The offer must comply with the requirements in the procurement documents, and where necessary, equivalence must be explained and evidence of equivalence must be attached. The offer price must be submitted in the required structure, and the offer must include the cost statement. If subcontractors are used, the bidder must confirm that it does not engage a subcontractor who would be subject to replacement under Section 122(7) of the Public Procurement Act. Where the contracting authority refers to a standard, technical approval, trademark or similar reference, it must be treated as including “or equivalent” if the bidder proves equivalence. The machine-readable notice did not include any more precise qualification or compliance requirements; the rest must be checked in the tender documents.
