Common Misconceptions Concerning the Authorisation Certificates Required in Vehicle Rental, Personnel Transport and Freight Transport Tenders

08 August 2025

In service procurement tenders such as vehicle rental, personnel or student transport, or the carriage of goods or freight, candidates or tenderers may be required, according to the nature of the work, to submit documents such as registrations, permits or licences meeting the conditions laid down in the relevant legislation, as specified in the tender notice, the pre-qualification notice, or the administrative or technical specifications. Each member of a joint venture must submit these documents separately, while in a consortium each member must submit those relating to its own part. The authorisation certificates provided for in the Road Transport Regulation may also be among these documents.
