Compliance requirements
The ESPD includes the standard exclusion grounds: participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and other mandatory exclusion grounds under Estonian procurement law. If such a ground exists, the bidder may, where allowed, provide evidence of self-cleaning to restore reliability. The bidder must answer the exclusion questions in the ESPD and, where relevant, provide the requested dates, reasons, persons concerned and the period of exclusion. The machine-readable notice does not provide any additional exclusion grounds beyond the standard ones, so the official tender documents should be checked for the full list and any possible self-cleaning rules.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must have at least two service engineers/technicians employed or otherwise working for the bidder. At least one of them must have manufacturer training for servicing and repairing the equipment used for the analyses. If one of the two service engineers does not yet have the relevant training, that person must be registered for the manufacturer’s training on servicing and repair. The bidder must name the product representative and the service engineers in the ESPD and, on request, submit copies of certificates or the manufacturer’s written confirmation of training. The bidder must also have representation/sales rights in Estonia for the offered devices and diagnostics, and must submit the supporting document from the manufacturer or authorised representative. The bid must comply with the technical specification, and the bidder must submit the required technical datasheets, user manuals, maintenance plan and other listed documents. The machine-readable notice also requires a joint-bid power of attorney if applicable, a participation declaration, a business secret statement, sanctions-related confirmations, and conformity declarations for the in vitro diagnostic devices and reagents.
