Purchase, delivery and installation of rapeseed oil storage tanks

As of the tender submission deadline, the bidder must not have overdue, non-rescheduled debts relating to state taxes, payments or environmental charges amounting to EUR 100 or more. If the contracting authority identifies such debt, the bidder will be given three working days to pay it or reschedule it in accordance with the applicable rules. The bidder will be excluded if the debt is not paid or properly rescheduled within that period. Bidders registered in Estonia do not need to submit a separate tax-debt certificate because the contracting authority will check the public tax-debt records. A bidder registered abroad must submit a certificate from the competent authority in its country of establishment, issued no more than 30 days before the submission deadline, or provide an explanation and confirmation if such a certificate is not issued. The bidder must have submitted all annual reports to the commercial register whose submission deadlines have passed. The contracting authority will verify this using public register data. A foreign bidder must provide equivalent evidence from the relevant register or authority; if submitting annual reports is not mandatory or such evidence is not issued in the bidder’s country, the bidder must provide an explanation and its latest approved annual report.

During the 36 months preceding the start of the procurement procedure, the bidder must have experience from at least one properly completed contract involving the delivery and installation of a stainless-steel tank with a capacity of at least 10 m³. The bidder must provide a description of the previous contract, including its subject, tank capacity and performance period specified by month and year, together with a document or other equivalent evidence proving proper performance. The bid must include a technical description of the proposed tanks and a drawing or diagram showing their main dimensions. The submitted information must allow the contracting authority to verify all technical characteristics; a general statement of compliance is insufficient. The bidder must offer two identical rapeseed oil storage tanks, including transport and installation. Each tank must have a capacity of at least 30 m³ and be capable of storing at least 30 tonnes of rapeseed oil. The main structures in contact with rapeseed oil must be made of AISI 316L stainless steel or an equivalent material. The maximum external diameter or width of a tank may be 2,950 mm and the maximum overall height 5,300 mm. Each tank must have a closable top-access maintenance or inspection hatch and fixed ladder access to the top. The bottom must be slightly conical or sloped and include a pipe connection leading from the bottom. The bid must state the hatch type and dimensions, the pipe connection type and nominal size, and the tank material and material grade. The bidder must describe the transport and installation solution for both tanks, including preparations to be made by the purchaser and other installation prerequisites, and must coordinate the installation with the main contractor for the purchaser’s production building. Delivery and installation must be completed by 1 September 2028. Both tanks must be covered by a warranty of at least 24 months from signing the final handover and acceptance certificate, and the bid must state the warranty period in months. If an equivalent material or other equivalent solution is offered, the bidder must justify the equivalence and provide sufficient information for its assessment.
