Compliance requirements
A bidder may be excluded if the bidder or a member of its representative, management or supervisory body has a final conviction within the past five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, illegal employment of children or human trafficking, or remains subject to an exclusion period. Unpaid taxes or social security contributions may also constitute grounds for exclusion. The stated tax-debt threshold is EUR 0, although the tax authority does not issue a debt certificate where the debt is below EUR 100 or payment has been deferred. For foreign bidders, the law of their country of establishment applies. A bidder may also be excluded if awarding the contract to it would breach an international sanction or a sanction imposed by the Government of Estonia.
