Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members, procurists or other persons authorised to represent it have been finally convicted within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, or offences related to a terrorist act or terrorist activity. If any exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures where permitted. The bidder must also confirm that, in performing the contract, it will not use subcontractors, suppliers or relied-on entities linked to the Russian Federation for more than 10% of the contract value, and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from a sanctioned area.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the commercial register of its country of establishment. The tender documents also require the bidder to confirm that the bid complies with the tender documents, that any equivalent solution has been explained and supporting evidence added if needed, and that the bid is submitted in the required structure. If the bid is a joint bid, the joint bidders must appoint an authorised representative and provide a power of attorney showing the lead joint bidder and joint and several liability. The bidder must also confirm that it does not use subcontractors, suppliers or relied-on entities subject to the EU sanctions restriction for more than 10% of the contract value. The machine-readable notice did not include any more precise qualification or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
