Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members, procurators, or other persons authorised to represent it have been finally convicted within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, or other exclusion grounds listed in the ESPD. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures where permitted. The machine-readable notice did not include precise exclusion grounds; these must be checked in the procurement documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise selection or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the procurement documents. The ESPD sets out the exclusion grounds, and the bidder must answer the related questions and provide evidence where required. The compliance requirements state that the tender must comply with the procurement documents, that equivalence must be explained where relevant, and that the offered goods must not be subject to international sanctions or originate from sanctioned areas. The bidder must also confirm that subcontractors and suppliers representing more than 10% of the contract value will not include Russian nationals, residents, or entities established in the Russian Federation, or persons/entities owned or controlled by them or acting on their instructions.
