Compliance requirements
The bidder must not be subject to exclusion grounds, including a final conviction within the last five years, or a continuing exclusion period, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or child labour and human trafficking offences. Compliance with tax and social security payment obligations is also checked. In addition, there must be no breach related to employing a foreign national who is unlawfully staying in Estonia, no prohibition arising from sanctions and no local tax debt of the contracting authority’s location where this exclusion ground is applied in the procurement documents. The bidder must provide the relevant declarations in the ESPD and, where necessary, the required information and evidence; remedial measures may be described if an exclusion ground applies.
