REQUIREMENT |
The buyer needs to be able to specify national exclusion criteria linked to one EU criterion as well as criteria particular for the procurement procedure. The economic operator, in the ESPD Response document, will have to responde "Yes" or "No" to each national criterion thus confirming that it in breach of the Law. |
See also the REQUIREMENT tbr070-015 about economic thresholds regarding unpaid taxes or social security obligations.
Mock-ups - buyer perspective
This other screen-capture below represents a possible mock-up, from the buyer perspective, for the edition of requirements in 'Contributions' criterion (Payment of Taxes).

Mock-ups - economic operator perspective
This other mock-up illustrates what the economic operator sees.
|
Beware that this mock-up is not showing the national criteria. For this mock-up it is presumed that by answering 'Yes' to the general EU criterion all the national criteria QUESTION 'Your answer' will be also set to 'Yes'. |

The MS defined this national 'Payment of Taxes' criterion in e-Certis.
-
Reference to the EU Legislation. This reusable structure is identical for all the exclusion criteria.
-
For this ESPD Request Payment of Taxes criterion, the Member State defined in e-Certis a national REQUIREMENT consisting in the specification of the 'threshold amount of debt that an economic operator have with the national Tax Agency' (50 Euros in this example).
-
Notice that type of property used is REQUIREMENT. This entails that: a cbc:ValueDataType will be present indicating the type of value the buyer uses for this REQUIREMENT (e.g. AMOUNT, INDICATOR, DESCRIPTION, etc.; see the Code List ResponseDataType, the values are the same for buyers REQUIREMENT(s) than for economic operator response values).
-
Beware that No answer is expected here from the economic operator (do not get confused by the presence of the cbc:ValueDataType, as said it is used by both the Buyer and the EO.
-
The value supplied by the buyer for this requirement (50 Euros, in this example). Notice that the currency is specified in the attibute currencyID of the cbc:Amount component.
-
The MS also allows the buyer the possibility of adding multiple additional textual requirements (in this case the Buyer uses this to explain that ''Beware that the national Tax Agency won’t permit the existence of a debt, even if minimial, for two consecutive years'').
-
Again, no answer is expected here from the economic operator, as this is a REQUIREMENT issued by the buyer. Hence the element 'cbc:ValueDataTypeCode' contains the type of value of the requirement issued by the buyer.
