Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the standard exclusion grounds, including no final convictions in the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and the other mandatory grounds listed in the tender documents. If an exclusion ground exists, the bidder may need to explain self-cleaning measures and, where applicable, provide supporting evidence. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list in a concise form, so the exact exclusion grounds must be checked in the official tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder’s net turnover for the last financial year ended by the start of the procurement must be at least EUR 20,000. Joint bidders may aggregate turnover. If requested, the bidder must provide the latest annual accounts or other evidence of turnover; for an Estonian-registered bidder this may not be necessary if the data are publicly available to the contracting authority from a register.
To prove technical and professional ability, the bidder must submit a list of at least one contract for the rental and/or maintenance of outdoor toilets completed within the 36 months before the start of the procurement. The contract value must be at least EUR 15,000 excluding VAT. The contracting authority may request a confirmation from the client showing that the contract covered the rental and/or maintenance of outdoor toilets, together with the contract period and value.
If the bidder relies on the capacities of another company, it must also provide that company’s details and, if requested by the contracting authority, a consent confirming both permission to rely on those capacities and participation in contract performance. To ensure bid compliance, the bidder must submit the fully completed price breakdown and all required confirmations.
The machine-readable notice did not set out all precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements in a concise form; the exact requirements must be checked in the tender documents and official tender details.
