Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the standard exclusion grounds, including convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour and other forms of human trafficking, fraud, and terrorist offences. The notice also requires confirmation that the bidder or its representatives have not been convicted within the relevant look-back periods, and that any self-cleaning measures can be described if applicable. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list in one place, so the exact exclusion grounds must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder’s net turnover for the last financial year ended by the start of the procurement must be at least EUR 250,000. Joint bidders may combine their turnover. If the bidder relies on the resources of another entity, the bidder must also provide that entity’s details and, where required, evidence or consent confirming joint liability for the part of the contract covered by those resources.
For technical and professional capacity, the contracting authority may require a list of major works contracts completed within the 60 months before the start of the procurement, together with evidence that the works were performed properly. The input did not specify the exact number of references or any concrete reference requirements, so these must be checked in the tender documents.
When submitting the bid, the bidder must complete the bill of quantities, submit it as an MS Excel file, and, in the case of a joint bid, provide a power of attorney for the representative. The bidder must also confirm that it accepts the terms set out in the contract notice and procurement documents, submits a bid only for the matters requested by the contracting authority, and does not involve a subcontractor who would have to be replaced under Section 122(7) of the Public Procurement Act. The bidder must also provide the details of authorised persons, or confirm that no such persons exist, and the required confirmation regarding international sanctions. The exact compliance details must be checked in the tender documents.
