Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds under Section 95(1) points 1–5 of the Public Procurement Act apply to it. These grounds cover convictions for organised crime, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or related offences, offences linked to illegal employment of foreigners or breach of foreign workers’ conditions, child labour or human trafficking, tax or social security debts, and situations where the contract would breach an international or Government sanction. The machine-readable notice did not include any further exclusion requirements; check the tender documents for the exact wording and any bidder confirmations.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the commercial register or an equivalent register in its country of establishment. A foreign bidder must submit a valid copy of the registration certificate if its home law requires such registration. The bidder or its subcontractor must have completed at least one contract similar to the subject of the tender, related to pipeline insulation works, within the 60 months before the start of the procurement. The bidder must provide a list of the main contracts completed during that period, including the dates and the other contracting parties, using Form 2. If the bidder relies on another company’s resources, such as a subcontractor’s reference contract, that subcontractor must also be entered in the subcontractor table so that the contracting authority can check exclusion grounds. The machine-readable notice did not include any more detailed qualification or suitability requirements; check the official tender documents for the full requirements and required forms.
