Compliance requirements
The tender documents include the standard exclusion grounds, especially criminal convictions such as participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and other mandatory exclusion grounds under Estonian procurement law. The bidder or its relevant representatives must confirm these grounds and, where applicable, provide evidence of self-cleaning. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list in a compact form, so the exact exclusion grounds must be checked in the official tender documents.
