Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds apply to the bidder or to members of its representative, management or supervisory bodies. These grounds include convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, breaches of integrity, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering or terrorist financing. They also include convictions for enabling illegal employment, breaching the employment conditions of foreign nationals, illegal use of child labour or human trafficking. The bidder must not have outstanding national tax, payment or environmental-charge debts, and awarding the contract must not breach international or Estonian sanctions. Exclusion may also apply in the case of an unavoidable conflict of interest or a significant or repeated breach of a previous public contract resulting in withdrawal from or termination of the contract, a price reduction, compensation or a contractual penalty. The bidder must also confirm that it will not use, for more than 10% of the contract value, subcontractors or suppliers who are Russian citizens, residents or entities established in Russia, or entities controlled by such persons. An incorrect confirmation may lead to rejection of the tender.
