Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds under Section 95(1)(1)–(5) of the Public Procurement Act apply to it, its management board members, procurator or other authorised representatives. These grounds include participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, illegal employment of foreign workers, child labour, tax debts and breach of sanctions. The machine-readable notice did not include any other precise exclusion grounds; these must be checked in the official tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder, a joint bidder or its subcontractor must have completed at least one contract similar to the subject of the tender during the last 36 months before the start of the procurement. A list of similar contracts must be submitted, including their value, dates and the other contracting parties. If the bidder relies on a subcontractor’s reference, the subcontractor must also be entered in the subcontractor table so that the contracting authority can check that subcontractor’s exclusion grounds as well. The machine-readable notice did not include any other precise selection or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the official tender documents.
