The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor its management, supervisory or authorised representatives are subject to exclusion grounds. These include final convictions within the last five years or ongoing exclusion obligations for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or other forms of human trafficking, and certain tax offences. The bidder must also confirm that it has no tax or social security payment arrears, taking into account the stated EUR 0 threshold and the applicable rules for arrears below EUR 100 or deferred payment obligations. Exclusion grounds also cover agreements with creditors, bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceedings, liquidation or administration by a liquidator or court, suspended business activities, serious professional misconduct, competition-distorting agreements, conflicts of interest, involvement in preparing the procurement, serious or repeated previous contract breaches resulting in early termination or sanctions, and false or missing information or failure to provide requested documents. The bidder must additionally confirm compliance with environmental, social and labour-law obligations, that it has not enabled an unlawfully staying foreign national to work, that awarding the contract would not breach international or Estonian sanctions, and that the relevant representatives have not been convicted of tax offences. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of remedial measures restoring its reliability.

For each lot for which it submits a tender, the bidder must have properly completed at least one sales and supply contract during the 36 months preceding the date on which the contract notice was published. The contract must concern IT, computer, audiovisual or interactive equipment corresponding to the relevant lot and must have a total value of at least EUR 10,000 excluding VAT. If the bidder tenders for both lots, this requirement must be met for both lots; the same contract may demonstrate compliance for both lots. The bidder must provide the contract period, value, contracting party, contact person, email address and telephone number, and, for public procurements, the reference number. At the contracting authority’s request, the successful bidder must provide confirmation from the other contracting party that the contract was properly performed. The bidder must submit a compliant tender for all requested items without conditions, complete the required price and technical-description form for the relevant lot, and provide product or service descriptions and documents enabling verification of compliance with the technical requirements. The tender must meet the procurement documents or explain and prove equivalence where applicable. A minimum two-year warranty, effective upon delivery, is required for the products; it must cover repairs, a replacement product during warranty repairs and battery defects, without additional charges. Joint bidders must submit a power of attorney and confirm joint and several responsibility. Where the bidder relies on another entity’s capacity, it must submit that entity’s consent to participate in contract performance. The bidder must also identify and justify any trade secrets, while price information and other prohibited numerical tender information may not be classified as trade secrets.
