Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the standard exclusion grounds, especially convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and the other mandatory grounds listed in the tender documents. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may need to explain self-cleaning measures and provide supporting evidence. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds, so the exact requirements must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise selection, suitability or compliance criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents. Under the compliance requirements, the bidder must submit the participation application on Form 1, if needed a power of attorney on Form 2, and the price offer on Form 4. The bid must comply with the technical specification, and references plus manufacturer documents or information materials must be attached so that the contracting authority can verify compliance. If the bid is submitted as a joint bid, a joint bidders’ power of attorney must be attached. If the person signing the bid does not have statutory representation rights, a power of attorney must be provided. The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification requirements, so the exact requirements must be checked in the tender documents.
