Transport service tender

The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor members of its management, administrative or supervisory bodies, or persons authorized to represent or control it, have been finally convicted within the last five years of offences including participation in a criminal organization, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or illegal use of child labour or other forms of human trafficking. Compliance with tax and social security payment obligations is also checked; the threshold stated in the notice is EUR 0, although a tax debt certificate is not issued in certain cases, such as a debt below EUR 100 or a rescheduled debt. Grounds for exclusion may also include enabling an unlawfully staying foreign national to work or breaching an international or Estonian sanction. Where applicable, the bidder must provide relevant evidence and describe measures taken to restore its reliability. The bidder must confirm that it will not use subcontractors or suppliers accounting for more than 10% of the contract value where they are Russian citizens, residents, entities established in Russia, entities controlled by such persons or entities, or representatives or instructed parties of such persons or entities.

For all four lots, the bidder must provide an appropriately qualified driver for the transport service. The contracting authority may check the driver's compliance and request supporting evidence at any time. The bidder must have one or more suitable vehicles that are technically sound and clean; a bus must not be more than 15 years old as of the bid opening date. The machine-readable notice does not specify a turnover requirement, previous reference requirement, or exact professional certificate requirement. The bid must include the required information about the driver and vehicle or vehicles and, where necessary, evidence of their qualifications, experience and compliance. In a joint bid, a power of attorney for the joint bidders must be included. The bid must comply with the tender documents, be unconditional, and state the price according to the prescribed structure. If the bid differs from a referenced standard, label or other requirement, the equivalence must be explained and supporting evidence provided.
