Single-use clothing 2

The European Single Procurement Document asks the bidder to declare whether it or relevant representatives have been convicted within the previous five years, or remain subject to an exclusion period, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. Other grounds include unpaid taxes or social-security contributions; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or comparable proceedings; an agreement with creditors, court-appointed asset management or suspended business activity; serious professional misconduct; agreements intended to distort competition; an unmanageable conflict of interest; involvement in preparing this procurement that creates an unremediable competitive advantage; early termination of a previous contract or comparable sanctions; false or withheld information, failure to provide requested documents, or improper attempts to influence the procedure or obtain confidential information; and breaches of environmental, social or labour-law obligations. National grounds also cover enabling unlawful employment of a foreign national, being subject to applicable international sanctions, and convictions for tax offences. The tax and social-contribution questions state a threshold of EUR 0; the notice explains that an Estonian tax-debt certificate is not issued for debt below EUR 100 (excluding interest not fixed by an administrative act) or where payment has been rescheduled. Where permitted, the bidder may describe measures taken to restore its reliability.

The bid must be unconditional and confirm acceptance of all tender-document requirements. The bidder must submit the completed participation application, the completed technical-description form, the completed product list and unit-price schedule, and a price proposal in the specified structure. The bid must include a detailed technical description and manufacturer-issued technical documentation in Estonian or English (such as product information sheets, safety data sheets, registration certificates or certificates of conformity with EN standards) sufficient to verify compliance. Submit complete samples of each offered product in its original packaging: at least two samples of every size for each product. Where products are offered as equivalent to a specified standard, brand or other reference, explain the equivalence and provide supporting evidence. Joint bidders must appoint an authorised representative and include the relevant power of attorney. Identify any claimed trade secrets and explain the reasons; prices and other specified evaluation-related figures may not be designated as trade secrets. The bidder must also confirm that it will not use the covered Russian-linked subcontractors or suppliers for more than 10% of the contract value, and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned regions. The supplied documents do not specify financial-capacity or prior-experience thresholds.
