Compliance requirements
The bidder and its management bodies are checked for the usual exclusion grounds: participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or offences linked to terrorist activity, money laundering or terrorist financing, and any other mandatory grounds named in the tender documents. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning where this is allowed. The notice did not spell out all exclusion grounds in full, so the exact list and any exceptions must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must hold a valid integrated environmental permit issued by the Environmental Board. The environmental permit (waste permit) must cover all permitted operations for the waste types listed in point 2.1 of the contracting authority’s Annex 1. In addition, the bidder must have a permanent waste treatment site where hazardous waste is disposed of or recovered. The bid must be submitted in the structure set out in the procurement documents, and the bid price must be entered in Annex 3 in euros excluding VAT. Conditional bids are not allowed. The bidder must confirm that the bid complies with the procurement documents and, where relevant, that equivalence has been explained and supporting evidence has been attached. In the case of a joint bid, an authorised representative must be appointed and a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be attached. The bidder must also confirm compliance with the sanctions requirements: subcontractors or suppliers representing more than 10% of the contract value may not be citizens, residents or entities established in the Russian Federation, or persons controlled by them, and the offered goods must not be subject to international sanctions or originate from sanctioned areas. The machine-readable notice did not include precise additional qualification or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
