The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if any mandatory exclusion ground applies to the bidder or to a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body, a procurator, or another person authorised to represent, decide for, or control the bidder. These mandatory grounds cover convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, breach of integrity duties, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or related incitement, aiding or attempted offences, money laundering, or terrorist financing. They also cover convictions for enabling illegal 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, and convictions for illegal use of child labour or human trafficking. A bidder is also excluded if it has tax, fee, environmental charge, or social security contribution arrears under the law of its home country. The notice also includes voluntary exclusion grounds: serious or persistent breach of a previous public contract that led to termination, withdrawal, price reduction, compensation of damage or a contractual penalty, and submission of false information or failure to provide required qualification data or additional documents. The bidder must confirm that none of these grounds apply.

Over the 60 months before the start of the procurement, the bidder must have properly completed at least three contracts for electrical construction works similar to the subject of the contract, and at least one of them must have had a value of at least EUR 40,000 excluding VAT. The bidder must submit a list of the contracts showing the performance period, details of the other contracting party, including the client representative’s contact details, telephone number and email address, and, in public procurement cases, the reference numbers. On request, the contracting authority may require evidence that the similar electrical construction contracts were properly performed, unless it can obtain the information from public or its own databases without major effort.
