Compliance requirements
A bidder may be excluded if it or a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body, or a person authorised to represent, make decisions for or control it, has a relevant criminal conviction within the last five years, including for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. Other grounds include breaches of tax or social security payment obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, suspended business activity or similar situations; serious professional misconduct; competition-distorting agreements; an unmanageable conflict of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an advantage which cannot otherwise be neutralised; serious or repeated breaches of previous contracts; false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, or attempts to obtain confidential information improperly; and breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations. National grounds also cover enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national, being subject to an international sanction, and certain tax offences. For Estonian tax arrears, the notice states that a tax-debt certificate is not issued where the debt is under EUR 100 or payment has been deferred. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of remedial measures demonstrating restored reliability.
