Packaging Waste Sorting Line

The machine-readable notice states two exclusion grounds. First, the bidder must not have tax arrears in the sense of the Taxation Act, including state taxes, contributions or environmental charges, or overdue social security contributions under the law of the country where the bidder is established. Scheduled tax arrears are accepted. Non-Estonian bidders must be ready to provide additional evidence that they have no tax arrears. Second, the contracting authority excludes bidders from third countries, meaning countries that are not EU Member States, EEA countries, WTO GPA parties, or countries with which the EU has a reciprocal free trade agreement covering public procurement. The bidder must check its country of origin against the official lists before submitting a tender.

The bidder must demonstrate financial and technical capacity. Annual sales revenue for each of the last 3 financial years must be at least EUR 700,000 per year. If the bidder is not an Estonian company, it must be ready to provide signed financial statements or similar documents. To prove technical experience, the bidder must submit at least 1 reference project completed within the last 60 months before the start of the procurement procedure. The reference must cover at least one of the following activities: design, manufacturing or installation of waste management equipment or technology. For the project, the bidder must provide a brief description, the scope of work performed, the completion date with month and year, and the client’s name and contact details.
