A dynamic purchasing system can be described as a type of open framework agreement, as everyone who meets the minimum suitability requirements and is not subject to exclusion grounds can be admitted to the system. The contracting authority is obligated to continuously admit new participants to the system and cannot limit the number of participants. Bidders can be admitted throughout the entire duration of the dynamic purchasing system (the first deadline for requesting participation will be after 30 days, after which it can/should be extended by the contracting authority).

Mini-tenders will be continuously established on a dynamic purchasing system. Therefore, there will not necessarily be specifications for upcoming mini-tenders at the time of admission.

Instructions:

  1. Show interest

  2. Log in or register as a user

  3. Complete the request for participation in the dynamic purchasing system

  4. Complete and submit the request

NOTE: It is not sufficient to show interest on a tender. To be admitted to a dynamic purchasing system, you must submit a request for admission following the steps within Mercell Sourcing Service, declaring that you meet the minimum requirements.

Show interest

At the bottom of the public page of the tender, you will find the button “Show interest”
