Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor any member of its management or supervisory body, procurator or other authorised representative has been finally convicted during the last five years of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering, terrorist financing, child labour or other forms of human trafficking. The exclusion grounds also cover outstanding tax or social security payment obligations, bankruptcy, liquidation or other insolvency proceedings, suspended business activities, serious professional misconduct, agreements restricting competition, conflicts of interest and material breaches of previous public contracts. They also cover submitting false information, failing to provide required information or additional documents, attempting to improperly influence the contracting authority or seeking confidential information. National exclusion grounds include enabling an unlawfully staying foreign national to work in Estonia, being subject to an international sanction and convictions for tax offences. The threshold for tax and social security debt is EUR 0; however, the tax authority does not issue a tax debt certificate where the debt is below EUR 100 or payment has been deferred. Where an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may, where permitted, provide evidence of remedial measures taken to restore its reliability.
