Compliance requirements
The bidder and its management bodies are checked for the usual exclusion grounds, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, and terrorist offences or offences linked to terrorist activity. If such a ground exists, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures. The machine-readable notice contained the detailed exclusion information in the ESPD; if needed, it must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the business register of its country of establishment. A successful bidder registered outside Estonia must submit a copy of the registration certificate proving registration as of 30 days before the deadline for submitting tenders or later; for an Estonian bidder, the contracting authority checks the data itself in public registers. For the service, the bidder and/or its subcontractor must have a qualified responsible person: an owner’s supervision specialist with at least the professional qualification Road Engineer, level 6, specialization in Roads, with the elective competence of carrying out owner’s supervision, or an equivalent qualification. The bidder must submit copies of the documents proving the person’s qualification and competence, or a reference to a public register; a foreign bidder must submit the corresponding documents from its country of establishment and a confirmation that it will submit, within one month after signing the contract, the confirmation issued by the Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority. In a joint tender, an authorised representative must be appointed and a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be attached. The tender must comply with all tender document requirements, and conditional tenders are not allowed.
