Compliance requirements
The contracting authority excludes tenderers originating from third countries. The tenderer must state its country of origin, meaning the country where the company is registered. In practice, the bidder must check whether its country is an EU Member State, an EEA country, a WTO GPA party, or a country with a reciprocal EU public procurement agreement.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The tenderer’s average annual sales revenue for the last three completed financial years ending at least six months before the start of the procurement procedure must be at least EUR 3,000,000 per year. For tenderers established outside Estonia, the contracting authority may request signed financial statements or equivalent documents as proof. The tenderer must provide sales revenue figures for 2023, 2024 and 2025 so that the contracting authority can calculate the average annual sales revenue.
The tenderer must have delivered at least two functionally similar wood processing lines to customers within the 36 months before publication of the contract notice. For each reference, the tenderer must provide the customer’s name and contact details, a short general description of the delivered line, and the date of acceptance of the works, stated by month and year.
