Purchase of instruments for dressing and operating rooms and sterilisation supplies

The bidder must confirm that neither the company nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members, representatives or controlling persons are subject to exclusion grounds. These include final convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and illegal child labour or other forms of human trafficking. The checks also cover tax and social security payment arrears, bankruptcy or insolvency and liquidation proceedings, assets managed by a liquidator or court, suspended business activities, serious professional misconduct, agreements distorting competition, unresolved conflicts of interest and improper involvement in preparing the procurement. Exclusion may also result from a serious breach of a previous public contract, early termination, damages or a contractual penalty, or the submission of false information or failure to provide required information and documents. The bidder must confirm compliance with environmental, social and labour-law obligations. For taxes and social security contributions, the stated threshold is EUR 0; however, a tax-debt certificate is not issued in cases including a debt below EUR 100 or a debt subject to an approved payment schedule. The bidder must also confirm that neither the bidder nor the offered goods are subject to international sanctions and that prohibited Russia-linked subcontractors or suppliers will not be used for more than 10% of the contract value. If an exclusion ground exists, the bidder may describe and substantiate remedial measures restoring its reliability where this is permitted by applicable law or the tender documents.

The machine-readable materials do not state separate precise economic or technical qualification requirements for bidders, such as turnover, previous experience or personnel requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents. To demonstrate compliance, the bidder must submit Form 2, the technical description form, and the manufacturer’s technical documentation in Estonian or English for each offered lot. Before the tender submission deadline, the bidder must deliver the number of samples required in Form 2. The samples must be the same products as those offered in the bid. Where possible, samples must be provided in their original packaging and labelled with the product code or reference number, product name and lot number. The transport box must show the tender title, reference number, bidder’s name and the contracting authority’s contact person, and the bidder must prepare a handover confirmation. The bidder must submit an unconditional bid, confirm acceptance of all tender-document conditions and provide the price in the structure specified by the contracting authority. If an equivalent product or solution is offered, the bidder must explain the equivalence and attach supporting evidence. In a joint bid, a power of attorney for the joint bidders must be submitted. The bid must identify any trade secrets and explain the designation; the bid price and numerical indicators describing goods bids for evaluation purposes may not be classified as trade secrets.
