The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if any of the exclusion grounds under Section 95(1) of the Public Procurement Act apply. The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor the persons entitled to represent, decide on behalf of, or control the bidder have been convicted for participation in a criminal organisation, breach of integrity duties, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or related incitement, aiding or attempt, money laundering or terrorist financing. The bidder must also confirm the absence of convictions for enabling illegal employment of a foreign national staying without a legal basis, or for enabling breaches of the conditions for employing a foreign national in Estonia, including payment below the statutory wage rate, and for illegal use of child labour or human trafficking-related offences. The bidder must confirm that it has no tax, duty or environmental charge arrears, or social security contribution arrears under the law of its country of establishment. The bidder must also confirm that awarding the contract to it would not breach an international sanction or a Government of the Republic sanction. If the bid is submitted with a foreign company, supporting documents on the absence of exclusion grounds may be required for that company and its management or controlling persons. The bidder must also confirm that it will not use subcontractors or suppliers accounting for more than 10% of the contract value if they fall under the listed Russian-related sanction restrictions.

The bidder's net turnover for the last three financial years must be at least EUR 300,000 in total and at least EUR 100,000 in each financial year. If the bidder is not registered in Estonia or the data cannot be checked from public sources, the contracting authority may request extracts from annual reports or other evidence. Joint bidders may rely on each other's figures. The bidder must have properly performed at least two contracts for socio-economic studies or market analysis services in the electricity, gas and/or hydrogen sector within the last 36 months from the publication date of the contract notice. Each contract must have had a value of at least EUR 30,000 excluding VAT, and the contracts must have been completed and accepted by the client by the date of publication of the contract notice. If necessary, contract details, client confirmation or other evidence must be provided. If the bidder relies on the capacities of another entity, a written confirmation from that entity in the required form must also be submitted.
