Compliance requirements
The bidder may be excluded if any exclusion ground under Section 95 of the Public Procurement Act applies, for example tax debt, failure to meet tax obligations, a final conviction for an occupational or economic offence, a serious breach in a previous procurement, or a conflict of interest. Estonian bidders confirm in the procurement that no exclusion grounds apply. For foreign bidders, the contracting authority may request a certificate from the bidder’s tax authority or an ESPD form before contract award.
