Compliance requirements
The tender documents include the standard exclusion grounds. A bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor its management, governing or supervisory body members, nor persons authorised to represent, decide for or control the bidder, have been finally convicted in the last five years for offences such as participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and other listed exclusion grounds. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may need to show self-cleaning measures where allowed. The machine-readable notice did not include the full precise list, so the official tender documents must be checked.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents. However, the compliance requirements clearly state that a tender guarantee of EUR 7,500 must be submitted for each proposed framework agreement, and its validity period must match the tender validity period. For a bidder established in Estonia, the tender must be digitally signed by a person with signing authority. If the tender is submitted by someone other than the legal representative, a power of attorney must be attached. The bidder must confirm that the tender complies with the requirements set out in the tender documents and that conditional tenders are not allowed. Where relevant, equivalent solutions must be explained and supported by evidence. The machine-readable notice did not provide precise qualification requirements, so the official tender documents must be checked for any financial, technical, experience or team requirements.
