The bidder may be excluded if it is bankrupt, in liquidation, subject to bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings, or its business is suspended, or if it is in a similar situation under the law of its country of establishment. The bidder may also be excluded if it has unpaid state tax, fee or environmental charge debts, or tax or social security contribution debts, unless the debt has been deferred, paid, or will be paid/deferred within 10 calendar days after notice. The notice also refers to general exclusion grounds under the Public Procurement Act, to the requirement that the average wage of the bidder’s employees must not have been below 70% of the sector average during the reference period, and to the requirement that the bidder and the technical consultant advising the apartment building reconstruction must not be related persons. If the bidder does not submit proof and the contracting authority cannot verify the absence of exclusion grounds from public registers, it may request documents within 10 calendar days.

The bidder’s net turnover for the financial year preceding the submission of the tender must be at least equal to twice the estimated contract value, excluding VAT. During the 60 months before the start of the procurement, the bidder must have carried out at least one comparable construction project with a value of at least half of the estimated contract value. A comparable project means the construction, extension or full reconstruction of a building as the main contractor, and it must have included at least the construction or reconstruction of load-bearing and external envelope structures, forced ventilation with heat recovery, and a new heating system. The bidder’s team must include: a project manager with at least a level 6 construction engineer qualification specialising in building construction or a level 6 construction manager qualification; a site manager with at least a level 5 construction foreman qualification; a ventilation and heating systems specialist with at least a level 6 heating, ventilation and cooling engineer qualification or a level 6 construction manager qualification specialising in indoor climate systems; a water supply and sewerage systems specialist with at least a level 6 water supply and sewerage engineer qualification or a level 6 construction manager qualification; and, for electrical works, a person with at least a class B competence certificate or a level 6 electrical engineer qualification in consumer electrical installations. The bidder must have a registration in the Economic Activities Register for the activity of construction, covering general construction, indoor climate systems, and internal or adjacent water supply or sewerage systems. For electrical works, the bidder must have a registration for electrical works, specifically the construction, including installation, of electrical installations. This registration requirement does not apply to foreign bidders; in that case, equivalent proof of competence must be provided. The bidder must have a quality management system in the construction sector that complies at least with EVS-EN ISO 9001, and an environmental management system that complies at least with EVS-EN ISO 14001, or equivalent evidence. If compliance cannot be verified from public registers, the relevant certificates or other documents must be submitted. Where applicable, the bidder must also provide evidence of the required performance security, which must amount to 5% of the construction contract value and remain valid throughout the construction period. If the machine-readable notice did not include precise requirements, they must be checked in the official tender documents, but in this case the notice does include the above specific requirements and evidence obligations for the bidder.
