Тема:
To make changes to the technical part of the tender documentation
Зміст:
Dear Contracting Authority,
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the requirement setting the maximum fuel tank capacity at 132 liters appears technically unfounded for a backhoe loader intended for intensive construction operations. Obviously, a larger fuel tank capacity allows the machine to operate continuously for a longer period without refueling, which positively affects work efficiency.
At the same time, limiting the maximum rather than the minimum capacity may narrow the pool of potential bidders and create a risk of disproportionate restriction of competition, which contradicts the principles of openness and non-discrimination of participants established in Article 5 of the Law of Ukraine “On Public Procurement.”
In view of the above, we kindly request to amend the technical requirements and set the parameter as follows:
“Minimum fuel tank capacity — 132 liters.”
This will ensure equal participation conditions for all suppliers of backhoe loaders of the same class.
After a detailed analysis of the technical specifications of the backhoe loader provided in the tender documentation, it can be concluded that the requirements appear to have been formulated based on the technical parameters of a specific model — CASE 695SV. The official supplier of this model in Ukraine is the company “Aleanda.”
According to the official website of this company — https://aleanda.com/ru/product/ekskavator-pogruzcik-case-695sv/
— the engine power of the CASE 695SV is listed as 126 hp (93 kW) at 2200 rpm.
Meanwhile, on the official website of the manufacturer CASE — https://www.casece.com/en/europe/products/sv-series-backhoe-loaders/695sv
— the same model is indicated as having 110 hp (82 kW) at 2200 rpm.
This discrepancy indicates the possible use of inaccurate or selectively chosen data during the preparation of the technical requirements for the tender documentation. A similar situation can be observed regarding the maximum hydraulic system pressure: the tender lists only 205 bar, while the official manufacturer’s website specifies 240 bar, which is a typical value for machines of this class.
We kindly request the Contracting Authority to:
To ensure transparency, equal competition, and non-discrimination of participants, make the following adjustments to the technical requirements in the tender documentation:
Set the minimum engine power at not less than 75 kW / 102 hp;
Specify the maximum hydraulic system pressure at not less than 240 bar.
Please note that, in accordance with Article 31 of the Law of Ukraine “On Public Procurement,” the submission of inaccurate information in a tender proposal constitutes grounds for disqualification of the bidder.
Moreover, under Article 17 of the same Law, a bidder who knowingly provides false information must be excluded from the procurement procedure.
Such actions may also indicate violations of anti-corruption legislation, in particular Articles 1 and 11 of the Law of Ukraine “On Prevention of Corruption,” and may entail administrative or criminal liability under Article 366 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (“Official Forgery”).
In summary:
We kindly request the Contracting Authority to review and adjust the technical requirements of the tender documentation in accordance with the official technical data of the manufacturer, in order to:
eliminate possible signs of a discriminatory approach,
ensure fair competition among all potential participants,
prevent potential violations of anti-corruption legislation.
