The bidder must confirm that neither the company nor its relevant representatives has a final conviction within the last five years, or an ongoing exclusion obligation, for fraud, money laundering or terrorist financing, use of child labour or other forms of human trafficking, participation in a criminal organisation, terrorism-related offences or corruption. The bidder must also confirm that it has no outstanding tax or social security payment obligations. The stated threshold for tax and social security debt is EUR 0; under the Estonian rules, a tax debt certificate is generally not issued where the total debt administered by the same tax authority, excluding interest not established by an administrative act, is below EUR 100 or payment has been deferred. Other grounds include being subject to insolvency or liquidation, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, conflicts of interest, improper involvement in preparing the procurement, serious or repeated breaches of previous contracts, false statements or failure to provide required information or documents. The bidder must also confirm that entering into the contract would not breach international or Estonian sanctions and that it has not enabled employment of a foreign national staying in Estonia without a lawful basis. First-tier subcontractors are checked during contract performance, and the bidder must not use a subcontractor that would have to be replaced under the applicable public procurement rules. For construction contracts, the bidder must also confirm that it does not involve subcontractors or suppliers covered by the EU restrictions concerning Russian persons or entities for more than 10% of the contract value.

The bidder must have completed at least one relevant construction project as the main contractor during the 60 months preceding the start of the procurement. The project must have involved the construction, extension or reconstruction of an accommodation or catering building, entertainment, educational, healthcare or other public building, or an office building, and the building must have had a closed net floor area of at least 2,000 m². The contract must have been completed within that period. The bidder must provide the required contract details in the European Single Procurement Document and, at the contracting authority’s request, evidence that the comparable works were properly performed, including the client and contact details. If the bidder relies on another entity’s capacity, it must submit that entity’s procurement document and the required signed consent. A foreign company’s branch must submit the procurement document for both the branch and the foreign company. The tender must comply with the procurement documents, be unconditional and follow the required pricing structure and cost schedule. A bid guarantee of EUR 60,000 must be provided by a bank, financial institution or insurer, or by depositing the amount into the contracting authority’s account, and it must remain valid for the entire tender validity period. The bidder must submit the required power of attorney where applicable and, for a joint tender, a power of attorney for the authorised representative. The offer must include the required confirmations concerning equivalent solutions, sanctioned goods and origins, and the use of lawful timber. For furniture included in the procurement, the bidder must declare REACH candidate substances exceeding 0.1% by mass and provide the relevant evidence at delivery, provide dismantling and repair instructions, offer the required five-year warranty, and ensure spare parts or functionally equivalent components for at least two years after delivery. The bidder must also identify and justify any trade secrets and must submit the required cost schedule.
