Procurement of motor liability and comprehensive insurance

The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor its management or supervisory body members or authorised representatives have received a final conviction within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering, terrorist financing, unlawful child labour or other forms of human trafficking. The bidder must also have no unpaid taxes or social security contributions; the notice specifies a tax-debt threshold of EUR 0. The exclusion grounds also cover breaches of environmental, social or labour law, bankruptcy, liquidation or other insolvency proceedings, assets administered by a liquidator or court, suspended business activity, serious professional misconduct, agreements restricting competition, conflicts of interest, improper involvement in preparing the procurement, serious breaches or early termination of previous contracts, and the submission of false information or failure to provide required documents. The authority will also check unlawful employment of foreign nationals, compliance with international sanctions, local tax debt owed in the contracting authority’s area, tax-related offences and any restriction on the bidder’s right to participate. The bidder must confirm that it will not use, for more than 10% of the contract value, subcontractors or suppliers covered by the applicable Russia-related sanctions, including Russian nationals, residents, entities established in Russia or entities owned or controlled by them. A tender may be rejected if this restriction is breached. For a joint tender, a separate European Single Procurement Document must be submitted for every joint bidder. If the bidder relies on another entity’s resources, the relevant consent, procurement document and power of attorney must be provided where applicable.

The tender is divided into six lots, and a bidder may submit a tender for up to six lots. For all lots, the bidder must hold the authorisation required under Section 15(1) of the Insurance Activities Act to provide motor liability insurance, or must be listed by the Financial Supervision Authority as an insurance intermediary for motor liability insurance. If the relevant information cannot be found on the Authority’s website, the bidder must provide, upon request, documents proving the authorisation or the right to broker motor liability insurance. A bidder registered outside Estonia must provide an officially certified extract from its home-country register together with an Estonian translation. For Lot 2, the bidder’s annual net turnover must have been at least EUR 1,800,000 in each of the last three financial years completed before the commencement of the procurement. A bidder registered outside Estonia must provide, upon request, extracts from the accounts for those three financial years together with an Estonian translation. The tender must be submitted using the price form. Every line relevant to the lot must be completed, unit prices and the total price must be stated in euros excluding VAT to two decimal places, and the prices must include all costs of providing the insurance services. Unit prices are final for the entire contract period, and the total calculated from the price form must match the total entered in the procurement procedure. The tender must be signed by a statutory or authorised representative; where an authorised representative signs, a power of attorney must be provided. Conditional tenders are not permitted.
