Standards for Qualifications of Tenderers and Determination of Special or Large Procurement Article 3

When prescribing the basic qualifications relevant to the supply of the subject of the procurement pursuant to subparagraph 1 of the preceding Article, an entity may, based upon the characteristics of the procurement and actual needs, select the certifying documents that shall be attached to the tender according to any or all of the following:1. Proof of registration or establishment of the supplier, such as certificate of company registration or commercial registration, certificate of registration required by law for a non-profit-making juristic person, institution or organization, certificate of factory registration, approval certificate for registration, practicing license, practicing certificate, accreditation certificate, or other certificates issued by government entities or institutions authorized by government entities certifying that the supplier is lawfully established or registered.2. Proof of tax payment of the supplier, such as business tax statement, income tax statement.3. Proof of membership to an industrial or commercial organization in accordance with the Act of Industrial Organization or the Act of Commercial Organization, such as membership certificate.In lieu of the certificates referred to in subparagraph 1 of the preceding paragraph, suppliers may submit the printout of data that are open to the public at the website of competent entities. Although the contents of proof documents submitted by a supplier differ from the requirements of tender documentation, an entity may use, as a replacement, the supplier’s printout of updated data that are open to the public at the website of a competent authority prior to the time-limit for tendering, provided that the data is in consistent with the requirements of tender documentation.Where the certificates referred to in subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 are issued by different classifications in accordance with certain conditions or with a limit on contract value pursuant to the provisions of other laws and regulations, those provisions shall apply.Where an entity requires that only suppliers with designated business category in their certificates of registration or establishment referred to in subparagraph 1 of paragraph 1 be entitled to participate in tendering, the business category so required must not improperly restrict competition, and shall be based upon the categories of main, medium, small or extra small of the business category codes compiled by the Ministry of Economic Affairs. If the designated business category does not require special permission, it is deemed that a supplier’s registration covers the designated business category, provided that the business registration specifies that the supplier may conduct any business that is not prohibited or restricted by laws.Where the certificate of tax payment referred to in subparagraph 2 of paragraph 1 is a certificate of business tax payment, it shall be a business tax payment receipt or the latest sales revenue and tax report approved and affixed with an official seal by the responsible tax-assessing authority. If the supplier is unable to provide the most recent certifying documents in time, the tax payment receipt of the immediate preceding period may be used in replacement. Newly established suppliers who have not reached the time limit for filing their first tax payment may use, as a replacement, the approval letter of business establishment issued by the responsible assessing authority of business tax. Where unified invoice system is mandatory to the supplier, the relevant documents in relation to the purchase of unified invoice shall also be submitted. Certificate of no outstanding taxes issued by the responsible tax-assessing authority within the same period specified above, may be used as a replacement of certificate of tax payment of business tax or income tax.The proof of membership to industrial or commercial organizations referred to in subparagraph 3 of paragraph 1 shall not, unless otherwise provided for in laws or regulations, be restricted to those submitted by organizations from designated regions; where the tenderers are foreign suppliers, such certificates may be waived.
