Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that the company, its management or supervisory board member, procurist, or person authorised to represent or control it has not received a final conviction within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering or terrorist financing, illegal use of child labour or human trafficking-related offences. The bidder must also not have breached its obligations to pay taxes or social security contributions; the stated threshold for this condition is EUR 0. The notice also addresses bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, agreements with creditors, assets administered by a liquidator or court, suspended business activities, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, conflicts of interest, and serious breaches or early termination of previous public contracts. Grounds for exclusion may also include submitting false information, failing to provide required information or documents, or improperly influencing the contracting authority’s decision-making process. The bidder must additionally confirm compliance with requirements concerning the lawful employment of foreign nationals, the absence of international or Estonian sanctions that would make the contract void, and the absence of a tax-related conviction of its management or legal representative. Where legally permitted, a bidder affected by an exclusion ground may submit evidence of remedial measures demonstrating restored reliability.
