Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the mandatory exclusion grounds in the tender documents, including criminal organisation, corruption and fraud. The notice also requires confirmation that the bidder has taken any self-cleaning measures if an exclusion ground applies, and that the relevant information can be checked electronically where available. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds, so the official tender documents must be checked.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the official tender documents. The ESPD does contain exclusion grounds and bid compliance confirmations, but the input did not set out any exact turnover, experience, team, certificate or other qualification requirements. For technical compliance, the bidder must confirm that the offered goods meet the technical specification, and the contracting authority may request evidence if in doubt.
