Leasing of SUVs (Environmental Agency)

The bidder must confirm that neither it nor members of its management, administrative or supervisory bodies have been finally convicted within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, child labour or human trafficking, or for the other exclusion grounds listed in the ESPD. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit self-cleaning evidence where permitted. The bidder must also confirm that it will not use subcontractors or suppliers for more than 10% of the contract value if they are linked to the Russian Federation in the manner described in the sanctions rule, and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned territories.

The machine-readable notice did not include precise selection or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents. The ESPD does, however, set out exclusion grounds for which confirmations and, where necessary, evidence must be provided. The bid must also include the vehicle technical requirements and bid form, as well as the service point confirmation showing where maintenance, repair and warranty services will be provided and identifying the service providers.
