Retail purchase of motor fuel

The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members have been finally convicted within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or other forms of human trafficking, participation in a criminal organisation, commission of a terrorist act or offences related to terrorist activity, or any other exclusion grounds listed in the ESPD. Where relevant, the bidder must provide the date of conviction, the reason, the convicted person, the exclusion period and any self-cleaning measures. The bidder must also confirm that it does not use subcontractors or suppliers linked to the Russian Federation for more than 10% of the contract value 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 indicates that the bidder may rely on the capacities of other entities and, if so, the relevant details must be provided. It also means that all fuel-sales-related requirements apply to any cooperating partners or subcontractors engaged by the bidder to perform the contract through their fuel stations.
