Winter Maintenance Works on the Narva River Border

The tenderer must declare whether it or its representatives have relevant final convictions within the past five years, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and child labour or human trafficking. Other grounds include breaches of tax or social security payment obligations; breaches of environmental, social or labour law; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, agreements with creditors, similar proceedings, administration of assets by a liquidator or court, or suspended business activity; serious professional misconduct; anti-competitive agreements; conflicts of interest that cannot otherwise be avoided; involvement in preparing the procurement where an advantage cannot otherwise be neutralised; serious or repeated failures under earlier contracts resulting in early termination, damages or comparable sanctions; and false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, or attempts to obtain confidential information improperly. National grounds also include enabling a person without lawful residence to work, being subject to international sanctions, local tax arrears owed in the contracting authority’s location, and convictions for tax offences. The tenderer may, where permitted, provide evidence of remedial measures to demonstrate its reliability. The notice states that a tax arrears certificate is not issued for arrears below EUR 100 or where payment has been deferred; foreign tenderers are assessed under the rules of their country of establishment.

For each lot, the tenderer or joint tenderers must have properly performed at least 3 winter maintenance, road maintenance or car park maintenance service contracts during the 36 months preceding the start of the procurement. The contracts must have a combined value of at least EUR 20,000 excluding VAT; qualifying subcontracting contracts performed for a main contractor may also be used. The works must have been accepted by the client, although contracts still in progress may count for work already accepted. Provide the contract values, dates and details of the other contracting parties, and the procurement reference number where applicable. If relying on another entity’s resources, submit a procurement passport for that entity as well. Submit the list of machinery and equipment intended for framework agreement performance using Form 1; a GPS device integrated into the equipment or vehicle is accepted. Submit the price proposal using Appendix 2 and the specified price structure. Conditional bids are not permitted, and the tenderer must confirm compliance with the tender documents. If submitting a joint bid, appoint an authorised representative and include the joint tenderers’ power of attorney. Identify and justify any trade secrets, but do not classify the bid price or other specified evaluation-related figures as trade secrets. Where equivalence is relied upon, explain it and provide supporting evidence. No specific award criteria are stated in the supplied material.
