Purchase of drilling tools for SMAG drilling machines

The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds listed in Section 95(1)(1)–(5) of the Public Procurement Act apply to it. This means, among other things, that neither the bidder nor members of its management or supervisory bodies may have been convicted of offences related to corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, human trafficking or illegal use of child labour; the bidder must not have tax, fee or environmental charge arrears, and no sanctions-based prohibition may prevent the award of the contract. The bidder must also confirm that it has reviewed the rules and instructions published on the contracting authority’s website.

The bidder must be registered in the commercial register or another equivalent register in its country of establishment, if required by the laws of that country. For bidders registered in Estonia, the contracting authority will check the data itself. If the bidder is not the manufacturer of the offered drilling tools, a copy of the manufacturer’s authorisation letter for marketing those drilling tools in Estonia must be submitted. The machine-readable notice did not include any other precise qualification or suitability requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
