The subject of the contract is the supply and issuance of electronic vouchers to cover the needs of the personnel of the O.S.Y. M.A.E. The supplied items will be available in electronic format (smart cards – prepaid cards). Specifically, the supply of electronic vouchers will be provided through reloadable/credit cards with an embedded chip for making purchases by beneficiaries. The card will be activated immediately upon issuance and will be provided in plastic form. If the relevant possibility is provided, it may also be available in digital format via a web application for mobile devices, including mobile phones and tablets. The issuance and initial allocation of electronic vouchers (smart cards) to beneficiaries (employees of the O.S.Y. M.A.E.) will be free of charge. The electronic vouchers (smart cards) will have a validity period of at least one (1) year. They may also be provided without an expiry date. The issuance and, if required, the replacement of the cards will be free of charge. The reloading of the cards will be done with monetary value, according to the conditions that will be communicated by the O.S.Y. M.A.E. to the Contractor, while at the same time, the cardholders (employees of the O.S.Y. M.A.E.) will have the opportunity to benefit, if applied by the Contractor, from any loyalty systems or promotional activities that offer additional benefits. For the activation and loading of the electronic vouchers, the O.S.Y. M.A.E. will communicate to the Contractor, after the award and before the signature of the contract, the required data for each beneficiary, including the monetary value in euros that will be credited to the respective card and the type of electronic voucher, without transmitting personal data beyond what is absolutely necessary for the execution of the contract. The value of the electronic voucher will not be redeemed in cash and will only be valid for retail sales receipts. The redemption of the credited value will be made through purchases either by phone, or at any physical store, or at the contractor's e-shop. The credited value can be used partially, without a minimum transaction amount, with an accuracy of one cent of a euro (0.01 €). Eligible for the tender are economic operators whose statutes show that they operate as supermarkets. The Contractor is obliged, within ten (10) days from the date of communication by the O.S.Y. M.A.E. of the conditions in which the amounts corresponding to the beneficiaries are listed, to proceed with the issuance and delivery of the total electronic vouchers to the Central Offices of the O.S.Y. M.A.E., to the competent Receiving Committee or to the competent Service. After the payment of the contractual amount and the receipt by the Contractor of the relevant conditions of the amounts of the beneficiaries, the Contractor is obliged to immediately proceed with the loading of the electronic vouchers per beneficiary with the respective amounts within two (2) working days at the latest. The crediting of the total amount per voucher may be done partially according to the needs of the O.S.Y. M.A.E. The estimated value of the contract amounts to 1,400,000.00€ plus VAT (including the right of option). The estimated quantity of electronic vouchers amounts to 5,600 units. Bids that exceed the above budgeted expenditure will be rejected as unacceptable. The duration of the contract is one (1) year from the date of signature. The contract includes a clause for reviewing the quantity (right of option), according to article 337 (par. 1 per. a') of law 4412/2016, with a unilateral declaration of the Awarding Authority, up to 15% for the increase of the quantity, as well as the right to restrict up to 50% for the reduction of the quantity, always within the approved budget, for the entire duration of the contract. The delivery quantities will be finalized, after a decision by the competent organ, before the sending of the conditions that will be communicated by the O.S.Y. M.A.E. to the contractor which will concern the amounts of the beneficiaries per voucher. The review clause (right of option) for increasing or decreasing the quantity will be exercised provided that the contractual amount does not exceed the budgeted expenditure. Bids are submitted for the total supply, excluding any bid that refers to part of it. Alternative bids are not allowed. The contract will be awarded with the criterion of the most economically advantageous tender, exclusively based on price (lowest price) and more specifically based on the highest offered discount rate (%) on the budgeted amount of 1,400,000.00€. The award will be made to the economic operator that offers the highest discount rate (%), as this will result from the economic offer in the ESHDIS, according to the terms set out in the contract documents. A detailed description of the physical and economic object of the contract is given in Appendix I of this Declaration. In the event of identical bids (equal offered prices), the procedure for the appointment of the provisional contractor will be carried out by drawing lots according to the terms set out in par.1 of article 90 of law 4412/16. In the event that only one (1) acceptable bid is submitted, a negotiation/improvement procedure of the economic offer will follow through the System (ESHDIS) following an Invitation to the economic operator. In the event of no improvement of the economic offer, the Awarding Authority retains the right to cancel the award procedure, if, in its absolute discretion, it deems that sufficient competition has not been ensured. The above negotiation procedure will be carried out by the evaluation committee of the tender and the result of this will be included in the award decision.
