Compliance requirements
The bidder must declare the standard exclusion grounds, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and other criminal conviction-based grounds shown in the ESPD. For these grounds, the bidder may have to provide dates, reasons, the persons concerned, the exclusion period, self-cleaning measures and, where available, electronic evidence details. The notice also refers to tax and social security payment confirmations and to the possibility of proving reliability after an exclusion ground. The machine-readable notice did not include all precise exclusion details; they must be checked in the official tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice and selected documents indicate that the bidder must comply with the tender documents, including the requirements for the bidder’s team, the trial task, confidentiality confirmation for interview participants, bid validity of at least 4 months, and the required bid structure for the price. The exact team requirements are set out in the document “Requirements for the bidder’s team” and must be checked there. The notice also requires confirmation that the bid meets the tender documents and that any equivalence has been explained and supported by evidence where needed. Precise qualification details were not fully included in the machine-readable text and must be checked in the official tender documents.
