Compliance requirements
The tender documents include the standard exclusion grounds: participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and other mandatory exclusion grounds under the procurement rules. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may be asked to explain self-cleaning measures and provide supporting evidence. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list in the excerpt, so the exact grounds must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must have properly performed at least 1 lifeguard service contract within the 36 months preceding the start of the procurement. The bidder must provide the contract period, details of the other contracting party, and, in the case of a public procurement, the reference number.
By the start of the service, the bidder must have at its disposal at least 2 lifeguards holding a level 3 lifeguard qualification. If the qualification has not yet been awarded by the time the tender is submitted, it must be awarded no later than the start of the service.
The bidder must have standard uniforms for the lifeguard staff and must submit a description and a photo or drawing of them. The bidder must also confirm that it owns or rents the equipment and special gear needed to provide the service by the time the contract is signed.
The tender must include all documents required by the contracting authority, including the price table, and the bidder must confirm that the tender complies with the tender documents. In the case of a joint tender, an authorised representative must be named and a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be submitted. It must also be confirmed that, where equivalence applies, the necessary evidence has been attached to the tender documents. The machine-readable notice did not include all precise compliance requirements, so the official tender documents must be checked.
