Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds under RHS § 95(1) points 1–5 apply. In practice, this means that the bidder and its relevant managers or representatives must not have final convictions for organised crime, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering, child labour or human trafficking, must not have tax or social security arrears as described in the notice, and must not be subject to an international or Estonian Government sanction that would prevent the contract from being awarded.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered 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 checks the data itself. A foreign bidder that must be registered under its national law must submit a valid copy of the registration certificate. The machine-readable notice did not include any more precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the official tender documents.
