Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members, procurators or other persons with authority to represent it have been finally convicted within the last 5 years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and other exclusion grounds listed in the ESPD. If an exclusion ground exists, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures, where permitted.
The bidder must also confirm that its place of residence or establishment is not in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus. The same applies to any person whose qualifications the bidder relies on.
The bid must include the Form 2 application for participation in the procurement procedure and a list of documents protected as business secrets, with justification, if the bid contains confidential information.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder’s net turnover from valuation services in each of the last three completed financial years must have been at least EUR 150,000 per year. If the financial year matches the calendar year, the relevant years are 2025, 2024 and 2023.
Within the 36 months before the publication of the contract notice, the bidder must have carried out at least 3 valuations of limited property rights and at least 5 valuations of special-purpose properties, such as a hospital, school or manor. The bid must include a list of valuations with the names and contact details of the contracting parties, the object, the content and the contract period; for contracts awarded through public procurement, also the procurement reference number.
The bidder must have a physical office or office premises in at least three different regions of Estonia, including the northern, southern and western or eastern region. The office must be located at least in Tallinn, Tartu and Pärnu or Haapsalu or on the Estonian islands or in Narva or Jõhvi or Rakvere. If the bidder does not have an office in the specified region, the requirement may also be met by having a specialist operating in that region, but the input did not provide the exact proof requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents.
The bidder must involve at least 2 property valuers. Each specialist must have at least higher education (master’s degree or equivalent), a professional certificate issued by the Estonian Association of Property Valuers at least at level 7 or equivalent, and at least 3 valuations of limited property rights carried out within the last 3 years. For an Estonian certificate, the contracting authority checks the professional qualification in the public register of professions; for a foreign certificate, the bidder must submit a document proving the qualification and a document from the competent Estonian authority confirming equivalence. For each specialist, Form 4 and an education certificate must be submitted.
