Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that no mandatory exclusion grounds apply. The exclusion grounds cover convictions related to participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing; offences related to illegal employment of foreigners or breaches of conditions for employing foreigners in Estonia; offences related to illegal use of child labour or human trafficking; tax, environmental charge or social security contribution arrears; and situations where awarding the contract would breach an international sanction or a sanction of the Government of the Republic.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must prove that it has no exclusion grounds and that it meets the lot-specific financial and technical capacity requirements. For lot 1, the bidder’s total turnover or net sales for the last two financial years ended by the start of the procurement year (2024, 2025) must be at least EUR 3,000,000 excluding VAT. For lot 2, the same figure must be at least EUR 1,000,000 excluding VAT. For lot 3, the same figure must be at least EUR 600,000 excluding VAT. The contracting authority may verify the data from public registers and may request extracts from the last two annual reports. If the bidder relies on another undertaking’s resources, exclusion-ground evidence must also be provided for that undertaking.
For technical and professional capacity, the bidder must have performed at least 2 equivalent contracts within the 36 months before the start of the procurement, related to IT equipment (laptops and/or desktop computers and/or accessories). For lot 1, the total value of those contracts must be at least EUR 1,000,000 excluding VAT; for lot 2 at least EUR 500,000 excluding VAT; and for lot 3 at least EUR 300,000 excluding VAT. Ongoing contracts do not need to be completed, but they must have been performed during that 36-month period. The bidder must provide the contract values, dates, and the other party’s details and contact information. The contracting authority may request confirmations or evidence from the other contracting party.
In addition, the bidder must submit a technical tender with the manufacturer’s website address for each offered item, the product name and model, and either the full manufacturer specification or a link to it. For lot 1, a completed quality assessment table is also required. The tender must comply with all tender document requirements, and conditional tenders are not allowed.
