Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that there are no grounds for exclusion. In practical terms, this means confirming that neither the bidder nor its management or supervisory body members, nor other legal representatives connected to the procurement, have been convicted for participation in a criminal organisation, breach of integrity duties, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or related incitement/assistance/attempt, money laundering or terrorist financing; for enabling illegal employment of a foreign national or violating conditions for employing a foreign national in Estonia, including paying less than the statutory wage rate; or for illegal use of child labour or human trafficking. The bidder must also confirm that it has no tax, fee or environmental charge arrears, and that neither the bidder nor its management or supervisory body members are subject to international sanctions.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the business register or an equivalent register in its country of establishment; for bidders registered in Estonia, the contracting authority checks the data itself, while a foreign bidder must provide a copy of a valid registration certificate. The bidder and/or its subcontractor must have completed at least 1 similar contract within the 36 months before the start of the procurement, with a total value of at least EUR 45,000; a list of key contracts with their value, dates and contracting parties must also be submitted, together with confirmation that the contracts were performed properly. The works must be carried out by qualified responsible persons, including specialists certified by Inspecta Estonia OÜ; copies of documents proving their qualifications and competence must be submitted. A foreign bidder or its foreign subcontractor that does not have responsibility certificates issued in Estonia must also provide a free-form confirmation that it will submit, within one month after signing the contract, the confirmation issued by the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority regarding the responsible person's qualification and competence. The machine-readable notice did not include any more precise compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
