Compliance requirements
The tenderer must provide a standard confirmation that there are no exclusion grounds. The notice lists the usual mandatory exclusion grounds, including convictions for organised crime, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering, child labour or human trafficking, tax or social security debts, and breaches of international or government sanctions. The notice also mentions additional grounds such as serious breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations, bankruptcy or liquidation, serious professional misconduct, local tax debt, anti-competitive conduct, conflicts of interest, prior serious contract breaches, false information, and lack of the right to submit a tender.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The tenderer must confirm that it has not seriously breached administrative contracts concluded with it and that there are no circumstances that could lead to its permanent insolvency or cessation of activity. In a joint tender, all joint tenderers must meet these requirements and appoint an authorised representative. A foreign-registered tenderer must also submit a copy of the relevant licence or a document proving membership in the relevant organisation, or a link to a public electronic register where the licence can be checked free of charge, and the licence number if required. In addition, the tenderer must submit the A2-level Estonian curriculum for preparation for the language proficiency exam, or documents proving that the curriculum complies with the requirements applicable in Estonia if the tenderer is registered abroad.
