Data storage system

The bidder and its representatives must confirm that no exclusion grounds apply, in particular no criminal organisation involvement, corruption, fraud, or other criminal conviction-related grounds asked for in the ESPD. If any such ground exists, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning, where permitted. The machine-readable notice did not include precise exclusion grounds; these must be checked in the tender documents.

The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents. As compliance requirements, the bidder must submit a technical offer for the data storage system and expansion enclosure, as well as a completed price form. The technical offer must be detailed enough to allow compliance with the technical specification to be verified. If the bidder relies on equivalence, this must be explained and evidence of equivalence must be provided. In the case of a joint bid, a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be attached. The bidder must also confirm that the bid complies with the tender documents and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned regions.
