Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor the members of its representative, management or supervisory bodies have been finally convicted in the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud or any other exclusion ground listed in the ESPD. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures where permitted. The bidder must also confirm information on payment of taxes and social security contributions and, where necessary, provide details of persons authorised to represent or control the bidder if this is not visible in the commercial register.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must submit the required qualification evidence and, where applicable, the team member CV form for the experts involved in the work. The tender documents require a project plan that describes the methodology, activities, schedule, team composition, roles and risk mitigation measures. If the bidder relies on other entities, it must state this and provide the required information. If the bidder is represented by a person who is not entered in the commercial register as an authorised representative, a power of attorney must be attached. If the bid is submitted jointly, a power of attorney for the joint bidders’ representative must be attached. The bid must also confirm compliance with the tender documents and, where relevant, explain equivalence and attach proof of equivalence.
