Supply and installation of equipment for the extension of the AIS AtoNs monitoring and reaction system on the Sava River in the Republic of Serbia
The entire project for extension of the existing AIS AtoNs system in Serbia will be implemented through three contracts:
SERBIAN INLAND WATERWAY INFRASTRUCTURE Finance Contract between the Republic of Serbia and European Investment Bank (Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia – International Contracts, No. 02/2019) – 20 % EIB, 40% Connecting European Facility (CEF) and 40% state budget of the Republic of Serbia.
Participation is open to all natural persons and firms (participating either individually or in a grouping - consortium - of tenderers) originating from all countries of the world.
A consortium may be a permanent, legally-established grouping or a grouping which has been constituted informally for a specific tender procedure. All partners of a consortium (i.e., the leader and all other partners) are jointly and severally liable to the contracting authority.
No more than one tender can be submitted by a natural or legal person whatever the form of participation (as an individual legal entity or as leader or partner of a consortium submitting a tender). In the event that a natural or legal person submits more than one tender, all tenders in which that person has participated will be excluded.
In case of lots, the candidates or tenderers may submit only one tender per lot. Contracts will be awarded lot by lot and each lot will form a separate contract.
At the latest during the evaluation procedure and before taking the award decision, the contracting authority ensures that there is no record of the successful tenderer, including consortium members, subcontractors or capacity providing entities, if any, in exclusion situations listed in Section 2.6.10.1. of the PRAG, December 2021, as well as in the Guide to Procurement for projects financed by the EIB, September 2018 (https://www.eib.org/attachments/strategies/guide_to_procurement_en.pdf), Section 1.4 (Ethical Conduct), Section 1.5 (Conflict of Interest), and Section 3.6 (Prohibited Conduct – Covenant of Integrity – template available in EIB Guide to Procurement, Annex 3),  Anti-fraud policy of the EIB  (http://www.eib.org/infocentre/publications/all/anti-fraud-policy.htm) and Section 3.8 Environmental and Social Covenant (E&S Covenant template is available in EIB Guide to Procurement, Annex 7).
During the evaluation procedure and before taking the award decision, the evaluation committee will request the original Declaration on honour on exclusion criteria and selection criteria and copies of documentary evidence for exclusion and selection criteria (also signed covenants) from the potential successful tenderer. If upon verification, the evaluation committee considers the submitted evidence not admissible, it will request the same evidence from the second-best ranked tenderer.
It should be noted that, in the Covenant of Integrity, the tenderer is requested to self-declare all sanctions and/or exclusions (including any similar decisions having the effect of imposing conditions on the tenderer or its subsidiaries or to exclude the said tenderer or its subsidiaries, such as temporary suspension, conditional non-exclusion, etc.) imposed by the European institutions or any multilateral development banks (including the World Bank Group, the African Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, European Investment Bank or Inter-American Development Bank), regardless of the date of issue and the expiration or not of such decisions and of the current status of any sanction and/or exclusion. In this regard, any omission or misrepresentation, made knowingly or recklessly, may be considered as fraud under the EIB Anti-Fraud Policy. Therefore, the Client reserves the right to reject any offer presenting an inaccurate or incomplete Covenant of Integrity, and may cause the rejection of the offer for prohibited conduct. Covenant of Integrity and Environmental and Social Covenant are to be signed by Consortium and each Consortium member (including Consortium leader).
Pursuant to its Sanctions Policy, the Bank shall not provide finance, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of an individual or entity that is subject to financial sanctions imposed by the EU, either autonomously or pursuant to the financial sanctions decided by the UN Security Council on the basis of article 41 of the UN Charter.
