Compliance requirements
The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if the bidder, its management or supervisory body members, or its authorised representatives have been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, breach of integrity duties, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing. The same applies if there is a conviction for enabling work for an alien staying in the country illegally, or for illegal use of child labour or an act related to human trafficking, or if a management body member is subject to an international sanction. A bidder is also excluded if it has tax, fee or environmental charge arrears, or arrears of taxes or social security contributions under the law of its country of establishment. For bidders registered in Estonia, the contracting authority checks tax arrears itself; a bidder registered abroad must, upon request, provide a certificate from the competent authority of its country of establishment confirming the absence of such arrears. The bidder must also submit a declaration confirming the absence of exclusion grounds (Form KI).
