Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
No separate qualification criteria were included in the hankepass; the machine-readable notice did not contain precise qualification or suitability requirements. These must be checked in the tender documents. For tender compliance, the bidder must complete Annex 1 technical specification, provide the manufacturer’s technical description or documentation that allows the device’s compliance to be assessed, and attach proof of the manufacturer’s right to represent the offered device. The tender must comply with all requirements in the tender documents, and conditional tenders are not allowed. If an equivalent solution is offered, it must be explained and supporting evidence of equivalence must be included. The bidder must also confirm a warranty of at least 12 months with maintenance for the supplied goods, free warranty work at its own expense, and on-site training, technical maintenance and support by a qualified technician. Fast availability of spare parts for the device must also be ensured.
