Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members, procurators or other authorised representatives have been finally convicted in the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or offences related to terrorist activities, money laundering, child labour or human trafficking. If any exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning or restored reliability where permitted. The machine-readable notice did not include precise exclusion grounds; they must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
For the bid to be compliant, the bidder must confirm that the bid meets the conditions set out in the procurement documents, that conditional bids are not allowed, and that the bid price is submitted in the required structure. In the case of a joint bid, an authorised representative must be named and a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be attached. Business secrets must be marked and justified separately in the bid, but the bid price and other numerical indicators related to evaluation may not be marked as business secrets. If equivalence is claimed, it must be explained and supporting evidence must be attached. The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements; they must be checked in the tender documents.
