The bidder must declare whether it or its representatives have relevant convictions within the past five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or child labour and human trafficking. Grounds also cover tax or social security arrears; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, suspended business activity or comparable situations; serious professional misconduct; anti-competitive agreements; conflicts of interest or involvement in preparing the procurement; serious or repeated failures under previous contracts; and false or misleading statements, withholding required information or documents, or improperly obtaining confidential information. Environmental, social and labour-law breaches are also covered. A mandatory national ground concerns enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national; other national grounds include international sanctions and tax offences. Where a ground applies, the bidder may provide information about measures taken to restore its reliability where permitted. Tax and social security arrears are grounds for exclusion. The stated threshold is EUR 0; however, under Estonian rules a tax-debt certificate is not issued where the debt is below EUR 100 (excluding interest not fixed by an administrative act) or payment has been deferred. Foreign bidders are assessed under the rules of their country of establishment. The bidder must also confirm that the goods are not subject to international sanctions or from sanctioned regions, and that prohibited Russian-linked subcontractors or suppliers will not be involved in performing more than 10% of the contract value. A contract that would breach applicable international or Estonian sanctions will not be concluded.

Bidders must submit a completed participation application, the completed bid form, technical product information, and a price offer using the prescribed structure and price form. For each offered product, provide the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, instructions for use, packaging labelling and, where applicable, an EC certificate of conformity. Samples must be provided as specified in points 2 and 4 of the technical description and bid form. Conditional bids are not permitted; the bid must comply with the procurement documents. If an equivalent product or solution is offered, explain the equivalence and provide supporting evidence. For a joint bid, appoint an authorized representative and include the power of attorney. Identify any trade secrets and explain why they qualify; prices and other evaluation-related figures may not be designated as trade secrets. For 2 points under award criterion 2, the bidder must have a climate or environmental impact reduction objective and provide a precise, publicly accessible URL supporting it. The objective must include at least one commitment to reduce environmental or climate impacts, address a high-impact area such as energy efficiency, transport, water use, material circularity or waste reduction, or seek to reduce pollution.
