Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds listed in the Public Procurement Act apply, including bankruptcy or liquidation, tax or social security debt, and the other grounds specified in the tender documents. In a joint tender, each joint bidder is treated as a bidder and the exclusion grounds are checked for each of them. The machine-readable notice did not include more precise exclusion requirements; they must be checked in the official tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the business register for construction activities covering general construction, indoor climate systems, and internal water supply or sewerage systems. For electrical works, the bidder must also have the relevant electrical works notice for electrical installation construction, including installation. Foreign bidders may prove equivalent competence with an equivalent document.
Financially, the bidder’s net turnover for the financial year preceding the start of the procurement procedure must be at least equal to twice the expected contract value excluding VAT. The bidder must also be able, by the contract date or within 10 calendar days after signing, to provide a performance guarantee equal to 5% of the contract value; a deposit to the contracting authority’s account or a notary account is also accepted if the beneficiary remains the contracting authority throughout the construction period.
For technical and professional capacity, the bidder must have completed within the last 60 months at least one equivalent construction project worth at least half of the expected contract value excluding VAT. An equivalent project means construction, extension, or full-building reconstruction as the main contractor, including at least structural and external envelope works, forced ventilation with heat recovery, and a new heating system. Completion must be proven by a handover certificate or by building register data, use notice, or occupancy permit.
The team must include a project manager with at least level 6 construction engineer or construction manager qualification, an object/site manager with at least level 5 construction foreman qualification, a ventilation and heating systems specialist with the required level 6 competence or equivalent, a water supply and sewerage systems specialist with the required level 6 competence or equivalent, an electrical works specialist with at least a class B competence certificate or level 6 electrical engineer qualification, and a level 7 authorised architect responsible for compliance with the European New Bauhaus requirements. The relevant persons must be named and their certificate numbers provided. The machine-readable notice also mentions a quality management system and an environmental management system in construction, but the exact requirement was not fully visible and must be checked in the official tender documents.
