Compliance requirements
The machine-readable notice included only one exclusion ground: the contracting authority may restrict participation based on the bidder’s country of establishment or residence, if this restriction is set in the procurement documents. The bidder must confirm whether it is subject to that restriction. No other precise exclusion grounds were provided in the notice; the official tender documents must be checked for the full list.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include any precise qualification or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents. The only exclusion-related item in the hankepass concerned a restriction based on the bidder’s country of residence or establishment, but no qualification requirements were set out. Under the compliance conditions, the bidder must confirm that the bid complies with the tender documents, that the bid price is submitted in the required structure, that equivalence is explained and supporting evidence is attached where needed, and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned areas. In the case of a joint bid, a joint representative must be appointed and a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be attached to the bid documents. The notice also includes a confirmation regarding non-use of certain subcontractors and a confirmation that the bid is unconditional.
