Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither the company nor its management, supervisory body members, authorised representatives or other relevant persons are subject to exclusion grounds. These include final convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or other forms of human trafficking, as well as convictions for enabling unlawful employment of foreign nationals or tax offences. The bidder must not have outstanding tax or social security payment obligations; the applicable threshold is EUR 0. The bidder must also confirm that it is not bankrupt, insolvent, being liquidated or under a comparable procedure, and that its business activity has not been suspended. Other grounds include serious professional misconduct, agreements intended to distort competition, an unresolvable conflict of interest, involvement in preparing the procurement that created an unfair advantage, serious or repeated breaches of previous public contracts, and false or missing information or failure to submit requested evidence. The bidder must not have breached applicable environmental, social or labour-law obligations and must not be subject to an international sanction that would make concluding the contract unlawful. Where relevant, the bidder must describe the circumstances, provide the requested evidence and explain any reliability-restoration measures.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The procurement concerns the supply of a vehicle scale and containers in two lots. The provided ESPD does not specify separate minimum turnover, previous-experience, staffing or professional-qualification thresholds. The bidder must accept all tender-document conditions, submit an unconditional bid covering all matters for which competing bids are requested, and confirm that the products comply with the technical specification. For a joint bid, a power of attorney for the authorised representative must be submitted. The bid must follow the prescribed price and technical-information structure. For Lot 1, the bidder must submit the required form for the vehicle scale's technical data and price; for Lot 2, the required form for the technical data and price of the multilift and marine containers. If equivalence is claimed, the bidder must explain it and provide supporting evidence. The bidder must also confirm that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned areas. Any declared trade secrets must be identified and justified; the bid price and other prohibited price-related indicators may not be classified as trade secrets.
