Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds listed in Section 95(1), points 1–5 of the Public Procurement Act apply to it. In plain terms, this means no relevant convictions, no illegal employment-related offences, no child labour or human trafficking offences, no tax or social security debt, and no conflict with international or government sanctions. The bidder must also confirm that it has reviewed the rules and instructions published on the contracting authority’s website.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the commercial register or another similar register in its country of establishment, if required by the laws of that country. For bidders registered in Estonia, the contracting authority checks the data itself. A foreign bidder must confirm registration in the commercial register or a similar register if this is mandatory in its home country. The machine-readable notice did not include any other precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents. The notice also requires confirmation of registration status in the relevant register where applicable, but no further numeric or documentary detail was provided.
