Purchase of refractory mixes

The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds under RHS § 95(1) points 1–5 apply. In practical terms, this means the bidder and its management or legal representatives must not have final convictions for organised crime, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing; for illegal employment of foreigners or paying below the statutory wage; or for child labour or human trafficking. The bidder must also have no tax, environmental charge or social security contribution arrears, and the contract must not breach international sanctions. The bidder must also confirm that it has reviewed the regulations and instructions published on the contracting authority’s website.

The bidder must be entered in the commercial register or another similar register in its country of establishment, if this is required by the law of that country. For bidders registered in Estonia, the contracting authority will verify the data itself. A foreign bidder must submit a valid copy of the registration certificate if its national law requires registration in the commercial register. The machine-readable notice did not include any other precise qualification, suitability or financial requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
