Exclusion grounds include final convictions within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and the use of child labour or other forms of human trafficking. Grounds also include breaches of tax or social-security payment obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar situations; suspended business activity; and agreements with creditors. A bidder may also be excluded for serious professional misconduct; agreements with other businesses intended to distort competition; an unmanageable conflict of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement that gives an unfair advantage which cannot otherwise be remedied; or serious or repeated failure to perform a previous public contract resulting in early termination, damages or a comparable sanction. Other grounds include submitting false information, withholding required information or documents, improperly seeking confidential information or otherwise improperly influencing the contracting authority’s decisions, and breaches of environmental, social or labour-law obligations. National grounds include enabling a foreign national without lawful status to work, being subject to an applicable international or Estonian government sanction, and convictions for tax offences. The bidder must also confirm that it will not use subcontractors or suppliers for more than 10% of the contract value if they are Russian nationals, residents or entities established in Russia; are more than 50% owned by such persons or entities; or act on their behalf or under their instructions. The offered goods must not be subject to international sanctions or originate from sanctioned regions. Where permitted by law or the tender documents, a bidder to whom an exclusion ground applies may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. For Estonian tax arrears, the notice states that a tax-debt certificate is not issued where the debt is below EUR 100 or payment has been rescheduled; foreign bidders are assessed under the law of their country of establishment.

The provided documents do not specify financial turnover, previous-experience or other measurable qualification thresholds. Check the tender documents for any further qualification conditions. For each lot included in the bid, submit the completed technical description and bid form, together with manufacturer-issued technical information in Estonian or English that enables the contracting authority to verify that the products meet the requirements. For each offered product, submit the manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity, instructions for use, packaging label and, where applicable, EC Certificate. If products from the same manufacturer differ only in size, a packaging label for one selected size is sufficient. Submit any other documents confirming compliance and the samples specified in the technical description and bid form. Equivalent products may be offered, but their equivalence must be explained and supported by evidence. Submit the completed participation application and price form in the required format. State the total price for each lot, excluding VAT, in the structure specified on the evaluation criteria and assessed values sheet and in accordance with cell Q7 of the price form. If the price form and the price entered in the procurement system differ, the contracting authority will rely on the price form. Conditional bids are not permitted; submitting a bid confirms acceptance of the tender-document conditions. Joint bidders must appoint an authorised representative and include the relevant power of attorney. A publicly accessible climate and environmental impact reduction objective is worth 2 points. It must be available through a direct URL and include at least one commitment to reducing environmental or climate impacts, such as reducing energy use, transport impacts, water use, material use, waste or pollution.
