Compliance requirements
The bidder and its representatives are checked against the usual exclusion grounds, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, child labour and human trafficking, as well as other convictions or breaches listed in law. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning where permitted. The bidder must also confirm payment of taxes and social security contributions and provide details of authorised persons if the contracting authority cannot see them in the business register. Under the sanctions rules, subcontractors and suppliers linked to Russia that fall within the specified categories may not be used for more than 10% of the contract value, and the offered goods must not be subject to international sanctions or originate from sanctioned territories.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must provide the data and declarations required in the ESPD and comply with the exclusion and selection requirements. The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents. According to the compliance requirements, the bidder must confirm that the tender complies with the tender documents and, if successful, provide the contract-signing details needed for contract conclusion. For the persons performing the roles, the bidder must submit the required CV-form information in a way that allows the contracting authority to verify compliance. If the bidder participates in a joint tender, a joint bidders’ power of attorney must be attached. If the bidder relies on the capacities of other entities or uses subcontractors, this must be declared as required by the tender documents.
