Compliance requirements
The machine-readable notice includes the standard exclusion grounds, especially convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour and other forms of human trafficking, fraud, and terrorist offences. The bidder must confirm these grounds in the tender documents and may need to provide dates, reasons, the convicted person, the exclusion period, and evidence of self-cleaning where applicable. The notice also mentions that subcontractors subject to replacement under the law must not be used in contract performance.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the commercial register of its country of establishment, if this is required under the laws of that country. A foreign bidder must provide evidence of registration upon the contracting authority’s request, if such registration is required in its country.
The bidder’s total annual turnover for the last three completed financial years must be at least EUR 3,000,000 in total.
Within the 60 months before the publication of the contract notice, the bidder must have carried out similar construction works on at least two public buildings with a closed net floor area of more than 700 m². For these contracts, the bidder must provide the contract details, the contracting partner’s name and contact details, the contract object, the closed net floor area and the contract period; if the contract was awarded through public procurement, the procurement reference number must also be provided. The contracting authority may request confirmation from the client that the work was performed properly.
For direct management, coordination and supervision of the construction process, the bidder must involve a site manager with professional qualification of construction engineer level 6 or construction manager level 6, or equivalent, with specialisation in building construction or equivalent. The site manager must have at least 3 years of work experience. The bid must include the site manager CV form according to Annex 5.
The bidder must also submit the project manager CV. The machine-readable notice did not show the exact project manager requirements in full; these must be checked in the tender documents.
The bid must comply with the conditions set out in the tender documents, conditional bids are not allowed, and equivalent solutions must be explained and supported by evidence where necessary. If the bid is submitted by a person who is not a legally authorised member of the management body, a written power of attorney must be included. In the case of a joint tender, a power of attorney for the joint bidders must be included. The bid price must be submitted in euros to the nearest cent according to the prescribed structure.
The machine-readable notice did not include precise requirements for some items; these must be checked in the tender documents if needed.
The notice also requires confirmations regarding joint bidding, trade secrets, sanctions-related goods, and the use of subcontractors subject to replacement under the law during contract performance, but these are mainly compliance and exclusion-related confirmations rather than additional qualification thresholds.
If any precise requirement is missing from the machine-readable notice, it must be checked in the official tender documents or tender documents, as applicable.
The notice did not provide any further exact qualification thresholds beyond those listed above, so any additional details must be verified in the tender documents.
