Pre-audit of E-ITS in state vocational education institutions

The tender documents include the standard exclusion grounds, especially criminal convictions such as participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and other grounds listed in the ESPD. The bidder must answer the exclusion questions, and where applicable may provide evidence of self-cleaning and the required supporting details. The machine-readable notice did not include a complete list of all exclusion grounds in the extracted text, so the official tender documents must be checked for the full requirements.

The bidder must submit the ESPD and confirm that the tender complies with all tender document requirements. Conditional tenders are not allowed. In a joint tender, the joint bidders must appoint an authorised representative and attach the joint power of attorney. The bidder must also provide information on authorised persons who are not visible from the commercial register extract, or confirm that there are none. The team must include at least one lead auditor and a sufficient number of pre-audit team members, and technical experts if needed, taking into account the scope and deadlines of the work. The bidder must provide a separate description for each institution covering the methodology, work organisation and schedule in line with the technical specification. The tender documents also require the price to be submitted in the prescribed structure and, where relevant, equivalence to be confirmed and evidenced if an equivalent solution is offered.
