Compliance requirements
The tender documents include the standard exclusion grounds, including criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and other mandatory grounds under the procurement rules. The machine-readable notice does not provide the full list in one place, so the bidder must check the official tender documents for the exact grounds, any self-cleaning possibilities, and the required confirmations.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder's net turnover for the last financial year ended by the start of the procurement must be at least EUR 50,000 excluding VAT. Joint bidders may combine their turnover. If the bidder relies on the resources of another company, the details of that company and, where necessary, its consent and evidence of turnover must also be provided.
Within the 36 months before the start of the procurement, the bidder must have completed at least one contract covering the sale and installation of electrical traffic control devices or variable-message traffic signs for outdoor use, with a value of at least EUR 50,000 excluding VAT. If requested, the bidder must provide a buyer's or client's confirmation of the contract scope, value and completion deadline. This requirement may also be met by relying on another company's capabilities, provided the relevant details and consent are submitted.
For bid compliance, the bidder must confirm that it accepts all terms set out in the contract notice and tender documents, submits a bid only for the matters on which the contracting authority requested competing bids, and will not use a subcontractor who would have to be replaced. In the case of a joint bid, an authorisation for the appointed representative must be submitted. The bidder must also indicate any business secrets or confirm that the bid contains none, and provide the details of authorised persons if they are not visible in the business register. The exact documentary requirements must be checked in the tender documents.
