Defining the Role of the Social Insurance Board’s Child Welfare Department and Developing a Cooperation and Implementation Model for the Child Welfare Prevention System

The bidder must not be subject to any exclusion grounds. The check covers final convictions within the last five years, or an ongoing exclusion obligation, concerning the bidder, its management or supervisory board members, procurists, and other persons authorised to represent, control or make decisions on behalf of the bidder. The grounds include participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and illegal use of child labour or human trafficking. The check also covers breaches of tax and social security payment obligations, enabling an unlawfully staying foreign national to work, being subject to an international or Estonian sanction, and lacking the right to participate because of a restriction set out in the procurement documents. For tax and social security debt, the notice specifies a threshold of EUR 0; however, a tax authority does not issue a tax debt certificate where the debt administered by that authority is below EUR 100 or payment has been deferred. The bidder must provide the required declarations and, where applicable, evidence concerning the breach, decision, exclusion period and measures taken to restore reliability. The bidder must also provide the names and personal identification codes of authorised persons who are not shown on the commercial register card, or confirm that no such persons exist.
