The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if a ground for exclusion under section 95(1) of the Public Procurement Act applies. The contracting authority may also exclude a bidder if a ground under section 95(4) applies. When submitting the bid, the bidder must confirm that no exclusion grounds apply. Before signing the contract, the contracting authority will verify the absence of the section 95(1) grounds on the basis of evidence.

The bidder must have a valid operating licence on the date of submission for providing outpatient vascular surgery services, outpatient vascular surgical services or outpatient cardiovascular surgery services at the place where the service will be provided. If the bidder also wants to provide day surgery vascular surgery services, the operating licence must also cover day surgery cardiovascular surgery services, day surgery vascular surgery services or day surgery vascular surgery services and anaesthesiology services. If the bidder also wants to provide inpatient vascular surgery services, the operating licence must cover cardiovascular surgery services and anaesthesiology services, including level III intensive care, and the licence must state that the bidder is a special hospital or a local hospital. For 2025, the bidder’s net turnover from healthcare services must be at least EUR 73,784. If day surgery vascular surgery services are also offered, an additional EUR 45,161 is required. If inpatient vascular surgery services are also offered, an additional EUR 269,385 is required, on top of the amounts above. The turnover requirement is calculated per one doctor working full-time in outpatient care and increases proportionally with the number and workload of doctors offered.
