Design and installation of a footbridge over the Põltsamaa River

The tenderer and its representatives must not be subject to any exclusion grounds. The notice checks, among other things, final criminal convictions from the last five years, or still-effective exclusion periods, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and the illegal employment of children or trafficking-related offences. The tenderer must also have no outstanding tax or social security payment obligations. Exclusion may additionally result from enabling an unlawfully resident foreign national to work or violating the conditions for employing a foreign national in Estonia, including paying less than the required wage, or from concluding the contract with a person subject to sanctions. The tenderer must provide the declarations required in the ESPD and, where necessary, supporting evidence; in certain cases, remedial measures taken to restore reliability may also be demonstrated separately.

The machine-readable notice did not specify precise selection or suitability criteria, such as required turnover, previous experience, personnel or professional certificates; these must be checked in the tender documents. Under the compliance requirements, submitting a tender confirms that the tenderer accepts all conditions set out in the procurement documents. The tender must comply with the tender conditions, and conditional tenders are not permitted.
