The subject-matter of the contract includes the following activities: 1. Delivery of an ICT solution in order to upgrade the application-oriented infrastructure between the Computing Centre (CCI) and the Reserve Computing Centre (RC) for the needs of the Registry Agency (AB) (hereinafter referred to as ‘the equipment’), detailed by type, quantity and technical characteristics in the Contracting Authority’s Technical Specification - Annex No 1. 2. Warranty service of the equipment delivered under item 1, provided within the warranty service period in accordance with the manufacturer's prescriptions, the requirements of the public procurement contract and the annexes thereto. The requirements for the implementation are described in detail in the Contracting Authority’s Technical Specification - Annex No 1. ******* ******** ******** Timeframes for implementation: At the date of the opening decision, no funding had been secured for the performance of the public contract. The delivery of the equipment shall be made within 60 days after receipt by the Contractor of a written notification of secured financing sent by the Contracting Authority. The warranty service period is according to the deadline proposed by the participant in his offer, starting from the date of the respective delivery protocol. ******* ******* ******** In case it is not a manufacturer, the participant shall be duly authorised by the manufacturer or its official representative for the right to distribute/delivery and provide warranty support of the software and hardware 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.
