The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its representatives or controlling persons have received a final conviction within the last five years for matters such as participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering, terrorist financing or human trafficking. The exclusion grounds also cover failure to pay taxes or social security contributions, breaches of environmental, social or labour law, bankruptcy or other insolvency situations, suspension of business activities, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, conflicts of interest and involvement in the preparation of the procurement in a way that creates an unjustified advantage. Other grounds may include serious breaches of previous public contracts, submission of false information, withholding information or failure to provide required documents. National grounds include, among other matters, breaches connected with enabling the employment of unlawfully resident foreign nationals in Estonia, sanctions-related restrictions, tax offences and breaches of any nationality or place-of-establishment restriction set by the contracting authority. Where an exclusion ground applies, the economic operator may, to the extent permitted, submit evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. The bidder must be able to provide proof of payment of taxes and social security contributions, or information enabling the contracting authority to verify this.

The machine-readable notice did not include precise requirements concerning financial capacity, previous experience, turnover, personnel or professional certificates; these must be checked in the tender documents.
