Compliance requirements
The machine-readable notice included only one exclusion ground: the contracting authority may restrict participation based on the bidder’s place of establishment or residence, if this restriction is set out in the procurement documents. The bidder must confirm whether this restriction applies and provide the requested details if required.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the procurement documents. The compliance requirements state that the bid must be submitted in the structure set out in the procurement documents, and that equivalent solutions must be explained and supported by evidence where relevant. If the bid relies on a standard, technical approval, brand, patent, type, origin, production method, label or test report, the bidder must show that the offered goods, services or works are equivalent.
