Compliance requirements
The bidder must be excluded from the procurement if the bidder, or a member of its management, administrative or supervisory body, a procurator or another person authorised to represent or control the bidder, has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing. Exclusion also applies if such persons have been convicted of unlawfully employing a foreign national without legal grounds or of unlawful use of child labour. A bidder is also excluded if it has tax, duty or environmental charge arrears, or arrears of taxes or social security contributions under the law of its country of establishment. In addition, the contracting authority may exclude a bidder that has seriously or repeatedly breached a previous public contract, or that has provided false information about qualification requirements or failed to submit the required information and documents. The bidder must confirm that its place of residence or establishment is not in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus, and that no materials, equipment or goods originating from those countries will be used in the works; the contracting authority may request certificates of origin.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must have, during the 60 months before the start of the procurement, at least three properly performed contracts for electrical construction works similar to the subject of the contract, and at least one of them must have a value of at least EUR 40,000 excluding VAT. The bidder must submit a list of the contracts, including the performance period, the other contracting parties' contact details (including the client representative's phone number and email address), and, in public procurement cases, the reference numbers. On the contracting authority's request, evidence of proper performance must be provided, unless the authority can obtain the information from public or private databases without significant cost. The bidder must also have a person responsible for switching operations in the 0.22–20 kV electricity network, with valid switching rights, entered in the Elektrilevi partner portal before the opening of tenders. If only low-voltage works (0.22–1 kV) are procured, at least low-voltage switching rights are required; in other cases both low-voltage and medium-voltage switching rights are required. The bidder must have a person responsible for the work operation (C-person), entered in the Elektrilevi partner portal before the opening of tenders. The bidder must have a person managing electrical works who has valid A-competence and/or a qualification corresponding to at least level 6 under the Occupational Qualifications Act, holds the relevant proof at the time of tender submission, and is entered in the Elektrilevi partner portal before the opening of tenders. The tender must include the price table in the form required by the tender documents, and all unit price fields in that table must be completed. The bidder must provide the names, job titles and contact details of the contract signatory or signatories and the contact person for matters related to contract performance; if the right of representation does not arise from the articles of association, a power of attorney must be included in the tender. The bidder must confirm that the tender is submitted in full compliance with the tender documents and that no conditional or additional terms are included.
