Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds under Section 95(1) items 1–3 and 5 of the Public Procurement Act apply, taking into account Section 95(2). The bidder must also confirm that it is not bankrupt or in liquidation, no bankruptcy or liquidation proceedings have been opened against it, and its business has not been suspended or is not in a similar situation under the law of its country of establishment. The bidder must confirm that it has no tax, fee, environmental charge, tax debt or social security contribution debt under the law of its country of establishment. In addition, the bidder must confirm that its average wage during the reference period was more than 70% of the average wage for the same period in the relevant field, and this must be proved with a Tax and Customs Board statement or an equivalent document from the competent authority for a foreign bidder. In a joint tender, the proof must be submitted for each joint bidder. The bidder must also confirm that it is not a related person to the technical consultant advising the beneficiary on the apartment building reconstruction.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the economic activities register for construction activities covering at least general construction, indoor climate systems, and building-internal or associated water supply or sewerage systems. For electrical works, the bidder must also have a registration for electrical works covering construction, including installation, of electrical installations. The registration requirement does not apply to a foreign bidder, but the bidder must prove equivalent competence with an equivalent document.
The bidder’s net turnover for the financial year preceding the start of the procurement procedure must be at least equal to twice the estimated contract value excluding VAT. In a joint tender, it is sufficient if at least one joint bidder meets this requirement on its own.
Within the last 60 months, the bidder must have carried out at least one equivalent construction project as the main contractor. An equivalent project means the erection, extension or full-building reconstruction of a building, and it must have included at least construction or reconstruction of the building’s load-bearing and external envelope structures, construction or reconstruction of a heat-recovery mechanical ventilation system, and construction or reconstruction of a heating system. To prove the project, the bidder must provide either the number of the occupancy notice or occupancy permit in the building register, or a copy of the handover and acceptance certificate signed by the client and the contractor.
The team must include a project manager with at least level 6 professional qualification as a construction engineer specialising in building construction, or level 6 professional qualification as a construction manager specialising in general construction. There must also be a site manager with at least level 5 professional qualification as a construction work supervisor specialising in general construction works. The ventilation and heating systems specialist must have at least level 6 qualification as a heating, ventilation and cooling engineer with the relevant construction management competences, or level 6 qualification as a construction manager specialising in indoor climate systems. The water supply and sewerage systems specialist must have at least level 6 qualification as a water supply and sewerage engineer, or level 6 qualification as a construction manager specialising in the construction of building-internal or associated water supply and sewerage systems. For electrical works, the person involved must have at least a Class B competence certificate or level 6 qualification as an electrical engineer in consumer electrical installations. The name and professional certificate number of each required person must be provided, and the relevant person must be involved in carrying out the works. The machine-readable notice did not include precise requirements for the remaining specialist mentioned in the documents; these must be checked in the official tender documents or tender documents. The bidder must also check the official tender documents for any exact requirements related to that role.
