AS Tartu Veevärk, van procurement

The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if the bidder or its management, administrative or supervisory body member, proxy or other authorised representative has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, breach of integrity, corruption, fraud, a terrorist offence or related incitement, aiding or attempt, money laundering or terrorist financing. Exclusion also applies if the bidder or such person has 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, environmental, social security or similar public-law arrears, or if awarding the contract would breach an international sanction or a sanction of the Government of the Republic of Estonia. The bidder must provide a free-form confirmation that no exclusion grounds apply.

The bidder must provide the contact details of an authorised representative. This representative represents the bidder, gives explanations if needed and acts as the bidder’s responsible representative during contract performance. The machine-readable notice did not include any other precise qualification or suitability requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
