Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor the members of its management or supervisory bodies have been finally convicted within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and the other exclusion grounds listed in the ESPD. If any exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures where permitted. It must also be confirmed that the bidder and its authorised representatives are not linked to Russia or Belarus in a way that would bar participation, and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned areas.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must submit a technical description of the offered product and, where necessary, include the product name, specifications, product sheets or other information proving compliance with the technical requirements. The bid must comply with all tender documents, and conditional bids are not allowed. If subcontractors or suppliers are used, entities that are citizens, residents or companies established in the Russian Federation, or persons linked to them, may not be involved in more than 10% of the contract value. In a joint bid, an authorised representative must be named and a joint-bidders power of attorney must be attached. If the bidder relies on equivalence, it must explain this and provide evidence where needed. The ESPD also requires details of authorised persons if they are not visible in the business register.
