Conclusion of a framework agreement for geodetic works

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 or to members of its management, governing or supervisory bodies. These grounds cover, among other things, convictions for criminal offences, enabling illegal work or violating the conditions for employing a foreign national, offences related to child labour or human trafficking, tax debts, and breaches of international or Government sanctions. If the bidder relies on a subcontractor, the contracting authority may also check the subcontractor’s exclusion grounds.

The bidder must be registered in the business register of its country of establishment or in another equivalent register if this is required by the laws of that country. For bidders registered in Estonia, the contracting authority checks the data itself; a foreign bidder must submit a copy of a valid registration certificate if registration is mandatory in its country. The person responsible for carrying out the works must hold the professional certificate of a geodesist, ‘Geodeet, tase 6’, or an equivalent or higher qualification. The bidder must submit copies of documents proving that person’s qualification and competence; a foreign bidder or its foreign subcontractor must submit copies of the documents issued in accordance with the laws of its country of establishment and confirm that it will submit, within one month after signing the contract, the confirmation issued by the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority. The bidder and/or its subcontractor must have completed at least one geodetic surveying contract during the 36 months preceding the start of the procurement and must submit the list of contracts on Form 2 together with the dates and the other contracting parties. The bid must comply with all tender document requirements; alternative, conditional or partial bids are not allowed. The bid price must be submitted in the structure set out in Form 1. If the bidder marks information as trade secret, it must briefly describe and justify it; the bid price and other numerical indicators used for evaluation may not be marked as trade secret.
