Compliance requirements
The exclusion grounds mainly concern criminal convictions. The bidder, or a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body, a procurator or another person authorised to represent it, must not have been finally convicted within the last five years of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption or fraud. If such a ground exists, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures where this is allowed. The tender documents may also contain other exclusion grounds that were not specified in the machine-readable notice, so they must be checked in the official documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents. The compliance conditions do show that a prior guided site visit is mandatory and the bidder must confirm that it attended the site visit at the time set by the contracting authority. If the bid is submitted jointly, a power of attorney for the joint bidders must be attached. The bid must comply with all tender document requirements and, where necessary, equivalent solutions must be supported by evidence. The bidder may also need to explain any trade secret designation and confirm that the supplied goods are not subject to international sanctions and that subcontractors or suppliers linked to the Russian Federation do not account for more than 10% of the contract value.
