Compliance requirements
The bidder, its administrative, management or supervisory body members, and persons authorised to represent or control it must not have been finally convicted during the past five years of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or illegal use of child labour or human trafficking, unless the exclusion period has ended. The grounds for exclusion also cover unpaid taxes or social security contributions, allowing a foreign national who is unlawfully present in Estonia to work, and circumstances in which awarding the contract would breach an international or Estonian sanction. Where an exclusion ground applies, the bidder must provide the required explanations and evidence; in certain cases, it may also describe measures taken to restore its reliability.
