Compliance requirements
The machine-readable notice states that the successful bidder will be checked for exclusion grounds. The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor a joint bidder has the exclusion grounds listed in § 95(1) points 1–3 and 5, taking into account § 95(2). The bidder must also confirm that neither the bidder nor a joint bidder is bankrupt or in liquidation, that no bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings have been opened, and that business activity has not been suspended or is not in a similar situation under the law of the bidder’s country of establishment. The bidder must confirm that there are no tax, fee or environmental charge debts, or tax or social security contribution debts, under the law of the country of establishment. The bidder must confirm that the average wage of its employees during the reference period has been more than 70% of the average wage in the relevant sector for the same period. The bidder must also confirm that it is not a related person to the technical consultant advising the client on the apartment building reconstruction.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must have filed a notice in the business register for the construction activity category covering general construction, indoor climate systems, and internal or associated water supply or sewerage systems. For electrical works, the bidder must have filed a notice in the business register for electrical works, including the construction and installation of electrical installations; this registration requirement does not apply to a foreign bidder, but in that case the bidder must prove its competence with an equivalent proof if needed. The bidder’s net turnover for the financial year preceding the submission of the bid must be at least equal to twice the expected contract value, excluding VAT; the exact amount must be entered to the nearest euro. The bidder must be able to provide, by the contract date or within 10 calendar days after contract signature, a performance security confirmed by a credit or financial institution in the amount of 5% of the contract value; the security must remain valid throughout the construction period and may also be provided by depositing the corresponding amount into the client’s bank account or a notary account, provided that the beneficiary remains the client throughout the period. The bid must comply with the tender documents and, where necessary, equivalent solutions must be supported by evidence. If this is a joint bid, a power of attorney for the joint bidders must be attached. If the bid is submitted by an authorised representative, a power of attorney must be attached. If team members are not employees of the bidder or joint bidder, a written consent from each such person to participate in the team must be attached. The machine-readable notice did not include any more precise requirements; they must be checked in the official tender documents or tender documents. The bidder must also confirm the required compliance statements in the tender documents, including the joint bid declaration, bid compliance confirmation, equivalence confirmation and trade secret declaration, where applicable.
