Compliance requirements
The bidder must be excluded if the bidder, or a member of its management, administrative or supervisory body, a procurator or another person authorised to represent it, has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, unlawful employment conditions, illegal use of child labour or human trafficking. Exclusion also applies if the bidder has tax, fee or environmental charge arrears, or social security contribution arrears under the law of its country of establishment. The contracting authority may also exclude a bidder that has previously seriously breached a contract or has provided false information about qualification or failed to submit required documents. The bidder must confirm that its place of residence or establishment is not in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
Within the 60 months preceding the start of the procurement, the bidder must have properly performed at least three contracts for electrical construction works similar to the subject of the contract; at least one of them must have had a value of at least EUR 40,000 excluding VAT. A list of the contracts must be submitted, including the performance period, contact details of the other contracting parties and, in public procurement cases, reference numbers. The contracting authority may request evidence that the contracts were properly performed. The tender must include the price table and confirmation that the tender complies with the procurement documents. For switching operations in the 0.22–20 kV electricity network, the team must include a person with valid switching rights who has been entered into Elektrilevi’s partner portal before the opening of tenders; for low-voltage works, at least MV switching rights are sufficient, and in other cases both MV and HV switching rights are required. There must also be a person responsible for the work operation, entered into the Elektrilevi partner portal before the deadline for submitting tenders. The team must also include a leading electrician with valid A-competence or, under the Vocational Education Institutions Act, at least level 6 qualification, together with the relevant proof at the time of submission. The bidder must provide the names, job titles and contact details of the contract signatory or signatories and the contact person, and a power of attorney if representation rights do not arise from the articles of association. In the case of a joint tender, a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be attached. The bidder must also confirm that the materials, equipment and goods, including components, to be installed and used in the works are not produced in or originating from the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus; the contracting authority may request certificates of origin. In addition, the bidder must confirm that it chooses the contracting authority’s standard payment term; if the bidder joins the factoring programme, the payment term is 95 calendar days.
