Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members have been finally convicted in the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud or any other exclusion ground listed in the ESPD. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning, where permitted. The bidder must also confirm that taxes and social security contributions have been paid, or that the relevant information is electronically available to the contracting authority.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise selection or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents. As compliance conditions, the bidder must confirm that the tender complies with the procurement documents, that the tender is unconditional, that equivalence has been explained and supporting evidence added where necessary, and that subcontractors or suppliers from the Russian Federation or controlled by Russian persons are not involved in more than 10% of the contract value. In the case of a joint tender, a power of attorney for the joint bidders must be attached. The bidder must also confirm that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned areas.
