Purchase of maintenance and repair services for medical equipment (manufacturer Getinge etc.)

The tender documents include the standard mandatory exclusion grounds, such as participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering and terrorist financing, and other grounds listed in the procurement documents. The bidder must confirm these points in the tender documents. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may be allowed to show self-cleaning measures where the procurement rules permit it. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds, so the official tender documents must be checked.

The bidder must be registered in the commercial register of its country of establishment, or provide an equivalent registration certificate or founding document if registration is not required. For Estonian companies, the contracting authority will check the data in the commercial register. The bidder’s total net turnover for the last three financial years must be at least EUR 100,000. If the bidder relies on the resources of another entity, it must prove that those resources are actually available for performance of the framework agreement and submit a confirmation that that entity will participate directly in performance to the extent relied on. As a technical capability requirement, the bidder must have manufacturer-authorised maintenance and repair rights in Estonia, including the ability to supply spare parts and consumables, and must submit a copy of the document granting that authorisation. As compliance requirements, the bidder must submit the application declaration in the form of Annex 1 Form I, and in the case of joint bidders, a power of attorney and a confirmation of joint and several liability, and where necessary a confirmation regarding planned subcontracting agreements. The machine-readable notice did not include any other precise qualification or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the official tender documents.
