Procurement of metal containers

The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its representatives or management or supervisory board members have received a final conviction within the last five years for participation in a criminal organization, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or child labour or human trafficking offences. Exclusion may also apply because of tax or social security debts, bankruptcy or insolvency or liquidation proceedings, assets being managed by a liquidator or court, suspended business activities, serious professional misconduct, agreements restricting competition, conflicts of interest, or serious breaches of previous public contracts resulting in early termination, compensation or another sanction. The bidder must also confirm that it has not submitted false information, failed to provide required information or documents, or attempted to improperly influence the procurement procedure. Breaches of environmental, social or labour law obligations, enabling the employment of a foreign national staying in the country unlawfully, international sanctions risks, and convictions for tax offences may also constitute exclusion grounds. Where permitted, a bidder affected by an exclusion ground may submit evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. The bidder must be able to provide the required evidence of payment of taxes and social security contributions or enable the contracting authority to verify this information.

The bidder’s net turnover must have been at least EUR 200,000 in each of the last three financial years completed before the start of the procurement. During the 36 months preceding the start of the procurement, the bidder must have completed at least two similar contracts, each worth at least EUR 50,000 excluding VAT. A similar contract means a sales contract for new metal hook-lift containers and/or metal waste containers. The ESPD must include the contract subject and a description demonstrating similarity, the performance period, value, and the contracting customer’s details, including the customer representative’s name, telephone number and email address; for public procurement contracts, the reference number must also be provided. The tender must include the tender form specified in Annex 1 for all requested products, evidence of the bid guarantee, and the proposed delivery period. Delivery must take place no later than 120 days after contract signature, and the tender must remain valid for four months from the submission deadline. A joint tender must include a written authorization for one bidder to represent the other. The bidder must confirm compliance with the applicable sanctions-related conditions and provide the required subcontractor information where a subcontracting agreement exceeds EUR 50,000 excluding VAT.
