Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the usual exclusion grounds, including that neither the bidder nor members of its management bodies have been finally convicted within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour and other forms of trafficking in human beings, terrorist offences, or any other grounds listed in the ESPD. If any ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning, where permitted. The bidder must also confirm that, in performing the contract, it will not use subcontractors or suppliers linked to the Russian Federation for more than 10% of the contract value, and that it will not use subcontractors subject to replacement under Section 122(7) of the Estonian Public Procurement Act. The bidder must also confirm that the offered goods are not the object of international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned territories.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be legally entitled to carry out the construction works that are the subject of the contract. An Estonian bidder must have a valid economic activity notice for the activity of construction and the relevant activity of road works or electrical installation works; a bidder registered in another EEA Member State must provide an equivalent proof of the right to provide the service. To prove technical and professional capacity, the bidder must have properly performed within the last 36 months at least one public road construction or repair contract worth at least EUR 100,000 excluding VAT, or at least one street lighting construction contract worth at least EUR 40,000 excluding VAT. The bidder must provide the contract subject, client, contact details, contract value and period of performance, and, upon request, a client reference letter; reference letters do not need to be submitted if the client is Tartu City Government. The bid must be submitted together with the quantity schedule, and conditional bids are not allowed. In the case of a joint bid, an authorised representative must be named and a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be attached. The machine-readable notice did not include any other precise qualification or compliance requirements; if needed, these must be checked in the tender documents.
