Compliance requirements
The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if the bidder, its management or supervisory body member, procurator or other authorised representative has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, breach of integrity duties, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or related incitement, aiding or attempt, money laundering or terrorist financing. Exclusion also applies if the bidder or such persons have been convicted for enabling work for an illegally staying foreign national, for violating the conditions of employment of 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, or tax or social security contribution arrears under the law of its country of establishment, or if signing the contract would breach an international sanction or a Government of the Republic sanction under the International Sanctions Act. The contracting authority may also exclude a bidder for serious or persistent breach of an earlier public contract, or if the bidder has submitted false information or failed to submit required additional documents. The bidder must submit confirmations on the absence of exclusion grounds on the prescribed form; in a joint tender, all joint bidders must submit the confirmations relevant to them.
