Compliance requirements
The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if any exclusion ground set out in Section 95(1) of the Public Procurement Act applies. The contracting authority may also exclude a bidder if a ground under Section 95(4) applies. When submitting the bid, the bidder must confirm that no such exclusion grounds exist. Before signing the contract, the contracting authority will verify the absence of the grounds listed in Section 95(1) on the basis of evidence.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder, including a joint bidder, must hold, on the day the bid is submitted, an operating licence at the place where the service is to be provided for outpatient gastroenterology services. The bid must state the licence number or numbers and confirm that the service will be provided in the premises on which the licence was issued.
The bidder’s 2025 net turnover from healthcare services must be at least EUR 248,016. This requirement is calculated per one doctor providing outpatient full-time consultations and increases proportionally with the number of doctors and the workload stated in the bid. The turnover amount must be submitted in the public procurement register.
The bidder must have provided outpatient gastroenterology services at least 50 times during the 12 months preceding the date of the decision to launch the procurement. In addition, for the offered specialty, the bidder must either have experience in providing e-consultations during the 12 calendar months preceding the relevant month or, by the bid submission deadline, be ready to provide e-consultations through the health information system, where this is required by law for that specialty.
The bid must include the completed bid form, the doctors’ confirmation, the healthcare institution’s confirmation, and any other documents required by the form. In the case of a joint bid, a authorised representative must be appointed and a joint bidders’ power of attorney must be attached. If the bidder marks information as a trade secret, the bidder must briefly justify that designation. The bidder must also confirm compliance with the sanctions requirements and that the offered goods are not the object of an international sanction and do not originate from sanctioned areas.
