The tender procedure is a negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, which means that entities who want to participate in the procedure must apply for prequalification.
The application for prequalification must be sent through the tendering system before the deadline for applications.
The Contracting Authority does not pay any renumeration for the participation in the tender process.
Questions concerning the prequalification procedure must be submitted through the tendering system. All questions will be answered if it is possible to provide an answer 6 calendar days before the deadline for applications. Questions and answers, including potential corrections to the tender material, will be continuously provided through the tendering system.
The applicant must submit a completed ESPD to apply for prequalification for this tender procedure. The ESPD for this tender can be found via EU-Supply. The ESPD must be completed in EU-Supply and submitted via “My Response”
Please note:
- An applicant participating on its own, but relying on the capacities of one or more other entities (e.g. a parent or sister company or a subcontractor), must ensure that the application includes the applicants own ESPD together with a separate ESPD from each of the entities it relies on with a completed part II: “Information concerning the economic operator” and part III: “Exclusion grounds” of the ESPD as well as the relevant information regarding part IV: “Selection criteria” and part V: “Reduction of the number of qualified candidates”. The ESPD from each of the entities should be duly filled and signed by the entities concerned.
Further where an applicant wants to rely on the capacities of other entities, it shall prove to the contracting authority that it will have at its disposal the resources necessary, for example, by producing a commitment by those entities to that effect, which must be submitted as part of the final documentation.
- Where groups of economic operators, including temporary associations, participate together in the procurement procedure, a complete separate ESPD for each of the participating economic operators must be submitted.
Further the final documentation must include a signed declaration by all parties of the group of economic operators (joint venture, consortium or other) stating that all economic operators assume joint and several liabilities towards the Contracting Authority for the performance of the contract as a whole.
