Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor the members of its administrative, 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 an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures where permitted. Where necessary, the bidder must also provide details of the persons who are authorised to represent it, take decisions on its behalf or control it, if that information is not published in the commercial register.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must submit the confirmations and documents required by the ESPD and the compliance conditions. The tender must include a project plan describing the methodology, activities, timetable, team composition, division of roles and risk mitigation. The previous experience of the experts involved in the work must be provided on the CV form in Annex 2 to the main tender documents and signed by the team member. The bidder must confirm that it can assemble a team with the competencies needed for the work. In the case of a joint tender, a power of attorney for the joint bidders’ representative must be submitted. The tender must comply with all tender document requirements, and conditional tenders are not allowed. If the bidder relies on equivalence, this must be explained and supporting evidence must be attached.
