The bidder must confirm that there are no exclusion grounds. The notice states that the contracting authority will exclude a bidder if the bidder, or a member of its management, administrative or supervisory body, or another legal or contract representative connected with the procurement, has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, breach of integrity obligations, corruption, fraud, a terrorist offence or related incitement, aiding or attempt, money laundering or terrorist financing. Exclusion also applies if the bidder, or such a representative, has been convicted of enabling work for a foreign national staying in the country illegally, or of illegal use of child labour or human trafficking. The contracting authority may also exclude a bidder if it is subject to an international sanction. In addition, a bidder with tax debt, public charge debt or environmental charge debt, or social security contribution debt in its country of establishment, may be excluded. For Estonian bidders, the contracting authority checks tax debt itself; foreign bidders must provide a certificate from the competent authority if the authority cannot verify the data from public registers.

The procurement passport did not contain any qualification or suitability criteria. The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents. The compliance conditions do show that the bidder must submit the offer price in the Appendix 1 form, in euros and without VAT, and confirm that the offer complies with all terms set out in the procurement documents. The offer price must also be entered in the structure specified on the worksheet titled "Award criteria and evaluated indicators".
