Qualification of tenderer

ESPD

According to the Swedish Act (2016:1145) on Public Procurement, based on the EU Public Procurement directives, a European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) can be used as a self-declaration form in public procurement procedures. The purpose of ESPD is that a tenderer can use the ESPD as preliminary testimony that the tenderer is free from exclusion grounds and meets qualification requirements according to the Swedish Act (2016:1145) on public procurement, chapter 13-15. Read more about ESPD on the website www.upphandlingsmyndigheten.se.

If the tenderer decides to use ESPD, the tenderer shall attach it to its tender. In case a tenderer relies on a subcontractor or another economic operator to fulfil the qualification requirements, a separate ESPD must be provided for that subcontractor/economic operator.

Instead of using the ESPD form supplied with the tender documents, a tenderer may choose to provide the necessary proof directly with the tender. The tenderer shall in that case supply proof, certificate and data showing that the requirements stated in the ESPD, which is attached to the procurement document, are fulfilled.

This proof, certificate and data shall clearly refer to which part of the requirements in the ESPD that it qualifies for.

After the publication in Tenders Electronic Daily (TED), the contract authority will complete the procurement document with an ESPD document in xml. This document can only be read if it is uploaded to the Commission´s electronic tool at https://ec.europa.eu/tools/espd.

Start by saving, on your own computer for example, the ESPD document in XML which is attached to the procurement document. Enter https://ec.europa.eu/tools/espd, select Swedish or English and fill in "I am an economic operator". Select "Import ESPD" and upload the ESPD request which was published with the tender notice. Then click "next". Fill in the document. Save the completed document and attach it to the tender.
