Technical requirements: 1.   Contracting authorities shall exclude an economic operator from participation in a procurement procedure where they have established, by verifying in accordance with Articles 59, 60 and 61, or are otherwise aware that that economic operator has been the subject of a conviction by final judgment for one of the following reasons:
(a)
participation in a criminal organisation, as defined in Article 2 of Council Framework Decision 2008/841/JHA (32);
(b)
corruption, as defined in Article 3 of the Convention on the fight against corruption involving officials of the European Communities or officials of Member States of the European Union (33) and Article 2(1) of Council Framework Decision 2003/568/JHA (34) as well as corruption as defined in the national law of the contracting authority or the economic operator;
(c)
fraud within the meaning of Article 1 of the Convention on the protection of the European Communities’ financial interests (35);
(d)
terrorist offences or offences linked to terrorist activities, as defined in Articles 1 and 3 of Council Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA (36) respectively, or inciting or aiding or abetting or attempting to commit an offence, as referred to in Article 4 of that Framework Decision;
(e)
money laundering or terrorist financing, as defined in Article 1 of Directive 2005/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (37);
(f)
child labour and other forms of trafficking in human beings as defined in Article 2 of Directive 2011/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (38).
The obligation to exclude an economic operator shall also apply where the person convicted by final judgment is a member of the administrative, management or supervisory body of that economic operator or has powers of representation, decision or control therein.
2.   An economic operator shall be excluded from participation in a procurement procedure where the contracting authority is aware that the economic operator is in breach of its obligations relating to the payment of taxes or social security contributions and where this has been established by a judicial or administrative decision having final and binding effect in accordance with the legal provisions of the country in which it is established or with those of the Member State of the contracting authority.
Furthermore, contracting authorities may exclude or may be required by Member States to exclude from participation in a procurement procedure an economic operator where the contracting authority can demonstrate by any appropriate means that the economic operator is in breach of its obligations relating to the payment of taxes or social security contributions.
This paragraph shall no longer apply when the economic operator has fulfilled its obligations by paying or entering into a binding arrangement with a view to paying the taxes or social security contributions due, including, where applicable, any interest accrued or fines.
Contracting authorities may exclude or may be required by Member States to exclude from participation in a procurement procedure any economic operator in any of the following situations:
(a)
where the contracting authority can demonstrate by any appropriate means a violation of applicable obligations referred to in Article 18(2);
(b)
where the economic operator is bankrupt or is the subject of insolvency or winding-up proceedings, where its assets are being administered by a liquidator or by the court, where it is in an arrangement with creditors, where its business activities are suspended or it is in any analogous situation arising from a similar procedure under national laws and regulations;
(c)
where the contracting authority can demonstrate by appropriate means that the economic operator is guilty of grave professional misconduct, which renders its integrity questionable;
(d)
where the contracting authority has sufficiently plausible indications to conclude that the economic operator has entered into agreements with other economic operators aimed at distorting competition;
(e)
where a conflict of interest within the meaning of Article 24 cannot be effectively remedied by other less intrusive measures;
(f)
where a distortion of competition from the prior involvement of the economic operators in the preparation of the procurement procedure, as referred to in Article 41, cannot be remedied by other, less intrusive measures;
(g)
where the economic operator has shown significant or persistent deficiencies in the performance of a substantive requirement under a prior public contract, a prior contract with a contracting entity or a prior concession contract which led to early termination of that prior contract, damages or other comparable sanctions;
(h)
where the economic operator has been guilty of serious misrepresentation in supplying the information required for the verification of the absence of grounds for exclusion or the fulfilment of the selection criteria, has withheld such information or is not able to submit the supporting documents required pursuant to Article 59; or
(i)
where the economic operator has undertaken to unduly influence the decision-making process of the contracting authority, to obtain confidential information that may confer upon it undue advantages in the procurement procedure or to negligently provide misleading information that may have a material influence on decisions concerning exclusion, selection or award.
Notwithstanding point (b) of the first subparagraph, Member States may require or may provide for the possibility that the contracting authority does not exclude an economic operator which is in one of the situations referred to in that point, where the contracting authority has established that the economic operator in question will be able to perform the contract, taking into account the applicable national rules and measures on the continuation of business in the case of the situations referred to in point (b).
The rescEU Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) project is an initiative under the Union Civil Protection Mechanism aimed at strengthening Europe’s capacity to respond to medical emergencies.
Eight countries — Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Romania, and Türkiye — are collaborating to establish and maintain 21 specialised medical teams. The project runs from December 2022 to September 2026.
Building on the experience of the European Modular Field Hospital (EUMFH) project, the goal is to ensure that all teams are equipped with interoperable and reliable equipment, enabling both joint operations and individual deployments.
A key component of the project is the procurement of equipment and supporting infrastructure necessary to make the capacities operational. This includes not only medical equipment, but also a wide range of related items such as logistics, communication, and technical support systems.
The procurement is carried out jointly by the participating countries, with the goal of ensuring harmonisation, cost-efficiency, and maximum interoperability.

The procurement procedures are carried out on the Mercell Tendering Platform based on the Dynamic Purchaseing Procdure (DPS).  Interested economic operators are invited to submitt their electronic applications for the relevant categories during the duration of the Dynamic Purchasing System.
The contracting authority (Johanniter) may extend the duration of the Dynamic Purchasing System for 6 month.
The full compliance with the procedure conditions is required. Questions e.g. about the conditions or participation have to be submitted by the economic operators exclusively in the section "Applicant Questions".
Questions about the platform use have to be raised with a ticket under Mercell Support Page or by phone -+49 6131 6338918 .
