Compliance requirements
The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if any mandatory exclusion ground under Section 95(1) of the Public Procurement Act applies. The contracting authority may also exclude a bidder on the grounds listed in Section 95(4). When submitting the tender, the bidder must confirm that no exclusion grounds apply. Before signing the contract, the contracting authority will verify at least the absence of the mandatory exclusion grounds under Section 95(1) on the basis of evidence. In addition, the bidder must confirm that subcontractors or suppliers representing more than 10% of the contract value are not citizens or residents of the Russian Federation, entities established in Russia, or entities more than 50% owned by them or acting on their instructions, and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned areas.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must have a valid operating licence on the date of submission for outpatient otorhinolaryngology services at the place where the service will be provided. The licence must cover the service locations where the bidder will operate, and the bidder must state the licence number(s) in the tender form. In addition, the bidder must have a 2025 net turnover from healthcare services of at least EUR 121,462. This required turnover is calculated for one doctor working full-time in outpatient care and increases proportionally with the number of doctors and workload offered. The bidder must also have provided at least 50 outpatient otorhinolaryngology services in the 12 months before the decision to announce the procurement. For e-consultations, the bidder must either have provided e-consultations in the offered specialty during the 12 calendar months before the month of the procurement announcement decision, or be ready to provide e-consultations through the health information system by the tender submission deadline, where this is required by law. The bidder must submit the completed tender form, doctors' confirmation, healthcare institution confirmation, and any other documents required in the tender form. If the bid is a joint tender, a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be attached. The machine-readable notice did not include any more precise qualification or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
