Purchase of Ophthalmic Equipment

The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members or authorised representatives have, during the last five years, been convicted by a final court decision of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism or terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or the unlawful use of child labour or human trafficking-related offences. The bidder must also have no outstanding tax or social-security liabilities; the threshold for tax and social-security-payment breaches is EUR 0, subject to the tax authority’s stated exceptions for debts below EUR 100 or deferred tax debts. Exclusion also covers enabling an unlawfully staying foreign national to work or paying less than the statutory wage rate, as well as situations where concluding the contract would breach an international or Estonian sanction. The bidder must provide the relevant declarations in the European Single Procurement Document and, where required, supporting evidence; where an exclusion ground applies, reliability-restoration measures may be described in cases permitted by law or the tender documents. The bidder must also confirm that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned regions, and that suppliers or subcontractors accounting for more than 10% of the contract value will not be Russian citizens, residents or entities established in Russia, entities owned or controlled by them, or entities acting on their behalf or under their instructions.

The machine-readable tender passport does not specify precise selection or financial-capacity requirements, such as minimum turnover, a number of previous projects or required personnel; these must be checked in the tender documents. To demonstrate compliance, the bidder must identify the name, model and accessories of each proposed device and provide technical descriptions of the device, its key components and accessories, together with manufacturer documentation such as brochures, images, certificates or technical data sheets. For each lot, the bidder must complete the price breakdown table (Form 1) and the technical description compliance table (Form 2). Conditional tenders are not permitted, and submitting an offer confirms acceptance of the conditions in the tender documents. Where relevant, an equivalent solution must be explained separately and accompanied by evidence of equivalence. In a joint tender, a power of attorney from the joint bidders must be submitted.
