A bidder may be excluded if it or its representatives have, within the previous five years or while an exclusion period remains in force, been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. Exclusion grounds also cover tax or social security contribution arrears; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or comparable situations; suspended business activities; serious professional misconduct; agreements intended to distort competition; an unmanageable conflict of interest or an unfair advantage from involvement in preparing the procurement; and serious or persistent breaches of earlier contracts resulting in early termination, damages or comparable penalties. Grounds further include failure to meet environmental, social or labour obligations, submitting false or misleading information, withholding required information or documents, or improperly seeking confidential information. National grounds include enabling a foreign national to work unlawfully, a contract that would breach international or Estonian sanctions, and convictions for tax offences. The notice states a zero-euro threshold for tax and social security debts; however, an Estonian tax-debt certificate is not issued for debts below EUR 100 (excluding interest not determined by an administrative act) or where payment has been rescheduled. Where the law or tender documents permit, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.
