The subject of the public procurement includes the provision of licenses for the right to use and maintain antivirus software for the needs of the Ministry of Finance (MoF). The performance requirements are detailed in the Contracting Authority’s Technical Specification – Annex 1, part of the procurement documents. ******* ******** ******* The deadline for providing licenses for the right to use and maintain antivirus software is up to 5 working days from the entry into force of the public procurement contract. Period of validity of licences: 24 months from the date of their insurance. ******** ******* ******* The participant shall be duly authorised by the manufacturer or his official representative with rights to distribute and provide support for the software products offered on the territory of the Republic of Bulgaria. The participant shall prove its compliance with the requirement by attaching an authorisation letter or other equivalent document issued by the manufacturer or its official representative in Bulgarian or accompanied by a translation into Bulgarian in its Technical Proposal. In the case of submission by the Participant of an authorisation letter from an official representative of the manufacturer (or an equivalent document), an authorisation letter issued by the manufacturer (or an equivalent document) authorizing the official representative of the manufacturer in Bulgarian or accompanied by a translation into Bulgarian shall also be included in the tender. ****** ****** ******* The requirement for authorisation at the tendering stage shall be justified by the subject-matter of the contract and shall constitute a guarantee of its timely and quality performance. If a contractor is selected who is denied authorisation by the manufacturer, this may lead to delays in the performance of the contract and its termination. According to the findings of the Varhoven administrativen sad (Supreme Administrative Court), ‘the authorisation requirement is not in itself restrictive in so far as it is a guarantee of the quality and reliability of the activity carried out. In normal commercial practice, authorisation takes place on the basis of a contract, which may be directly with the manufacturer or with another economic entity authorised to authorise on behalf of the manufacturer’ (Judgment No 10859 of 27 October 2021 of the SAC in administrative case No 6546/2021, VII o.). In the documentation, the condition for authorisation is laid down extensively, i.e. it is not limited only to the manufacturer of the equipment, but also to each of its official representatives. A general authorisation is required, not for a specific procedure, and an opportunity is provided for any interested partner participant, whether Bulgarian or foreign, to submit a tender, providing the opportunity to prove the above circumstance, both with an authorisation letter and with any other equivalent document certifying compliance with the requirement.
