SonarQube Licences

The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members or representatives have received a final conviction within the last five years for, among other things, participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking offences. The bidder must also have no outstanding tax or social security payment debt, except in legally permitted cases such as an agreed payment schedule or a tax debt below EUR 100. The bidder must confirm that it has not breached environmental, social or labour-law obligations, is not bankrupt or being liquidated, is not subject to insolvency proceedings or a comparable situation, and has not suspended its business activities or seriously breached professional conduct rules. Exclusion grounds also include anti-competitive agreements, an unresolved conflict of interest, an undue advantage resulting from involvement in preparing the procurement, serious breaches of previous public contracts, and the submission of false information or failure to provide required documents. National exclusion grounds are also checked, including enabling the employment of a foreign national staying in Estonia without a legal basis, being subject to international sanctions, and convictions for tax offences. Where an exclusion ground exists, the contracting authority may, where permitted, consider measures taken by the bidder to restore its reliability.

The machine-readable notice does not set out separate specific turnover, previous experience or staffing requirements. The bidder must nevertheless comply with the conditions in the tender documents and submit the required ESPD and other required confirmations. The bidder must have the right to resell the SonarQube licences and their manufacturer support in the Republic of Estonia. This must be evidenced by a manufacturer’s confirmation or by a public internet link that remains operational when the tenders are opened and evaluated and allows the contracting authority to verify the right. The tender must be unconditional, and the price must be submitted in the structure specified in the worksheet “Award criteria and measurable indicators”. In a joint tender, a power of attorney for the joint bidders’ authorised representative must be included. The bidder must identify and justify any trade secrets; the tender price and the corresponding numerical indicators used for evaluation may not be classified as trade secrets. Where necessary, equivalence must be explained and supporting evidence provided.
