The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if the exclusion grounds laid down in Section 95(1) of the Public Procurement Act apply to the bidder or to any entity whose resources the bidder relies on for qualification. The bidder must confirm that such exclusion grounds do not apply; if they do, the bidder must describe them. Participation is not allowed for undertakings whose place of residence or establishment is in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus. This also applies to any entity whose qualification the bidder relies on under Section 103(1). The bidder must confirm that neither it nor such an entity is established in those countries.

The bidder’s net turnover for each of the last two completed financial years before the start of the procurement must have been at least EUR 200,000 per year. If the financial year follows the calendar year, the relevant years are 2025 and 2024. The bidder must have properly completed at least two construction contracts in the 60 months before publication of the contract notice. The contracts must have concerned the design and construction or establishment of a liquid fuel storage and/or refuelling system. Each reference contract must have had a value of at least EUR 60,000 excluding VAT. The work must have included at least the construction or reconstruction of tanks, process piping, refuelling equipment, and electrical and automation systems, and must have been accepted by the client. The bidder must submit Form 1 with the data needed to verify qualification for the completed contracts. For each reference, the bidder must provide the client’s name and contact person, the object name and location, a short description of the work, the contract value and the period of performance. If the contracts were awarded through public procurement, the procurement reference number must also be provided. The contracting authority may request a client confirmation letter. Reliance on another entity’s resources for experience is allowed only if that experience is necessary for performance of the contract or part of it and the entity whose resources are relied on performs the relevant contract or part personally.
