Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor the members of its management, administrative or supervisory bodies have been convicted within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking, tax debts, or any other exclusion grounds listed in the tender documents. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning where this is allowed. Subcontractor checks also apply during contract performance where relevant to the bidder.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
For the bid to be compliant, the bidder must confirm that the bid meets the tender documents, that conditional bids are not allowed, and that any equivalence has been explained and supporting evidence attached where needed. In a joint bid, an authorised representative must be named and a joint bidders’ power of attorney must be attached. The bid price must be submitted in the required structure, and the form ‘Cost table’ must also be submitted. Goods that are the object of international sanctions are not allowed. The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification or suitability requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
