Compliance requirements
The tender documents include mandatory exclusion grounds based on final convictions, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences and related acts. If such a ground exists, the bidder may have to provide evidence of self-cleaning measures. The machine-readable notice does not give the full list in the excerpt, so the exact exclusion grounds must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must confirm that the bid complies with all requirements set out in the tender documents. The bid price must be submitted according to the prescribed structure of the cost form, and the completed cost form must be attached. If the bidder intends to replace required products with equivalent ones, a written comparison table, manufacturer documentation and other evidence of equivalence must be submitted with the bid. The contracting authority may require replacement of a non-compliant product without changing the bid price; if the bidder does not agree, the bid will be deemed non-compliant. The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents.
