The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if the bidder, or a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body, a proxy holder or another person authorised to represent or control the bidder, has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, breach of duty of honesty, corruption, fraud, a terrorist offence or incitement, aiding or attempted commission of such an offence, money laundering or terrorist financing. Exclusion also applies if such persons have been convicted for enabling the employment of a foreign national staying in the country without legal basis or for violating the conditions for employing a foreign national in Estonia, including paying less than the statutory wage rate, or for illegal use of child labour or human trafficking. A bidder is also excluded if it has tax, duty or environmental charge arrears under Estonian law, or tax or social security contribution arrears under the law of its country of establishment. In addition, the contracting authority may exclude a bidder that has materially or repeatedly breached an essential term of a previous public contract, leading to withdrawal from or termination of the contract, price reduction, compensation of damage or payment of a contractual penalty, or that has submitted false information about compliance with qualification requirements or failed to submit the required additional documents. The machine-readable notice did not include more precise exclusion requirements; they must be checked in the official tender documents.

The bidder must have, within the 60 months before the start of the procurement, at least three properly performed contracts for electrical construction works similar to the subject of the contract, and at least one of them must have a value of at least EUR 40,000 excluding VAT. The bidder must submit a list of the contracts, including the performance period, information on the other contracting parties (including the client representative’s contact details, such as phone and email) and, in public procurements, the reference numbers. On the contracting authority’s request, the bidder must provide evidence that the similar electrical construction contracts were properly performed, unless the contracting authority can obtain that information from public or its own databases without significant cost.
