Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor its management, supervisory body members, authorised representatives or other persons controlling the bidder are subject to exclusion grounds. These include final convictions within the last five years or an applicable exclusion period for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or other forms of human trafficking. The bidder must also not have unpaid taxes or social security contributions, environmental, social or labour-law breaches, bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, a similar financial situation, suspended business activities, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, an unresolvable conflict of interest, improper involvement in the preparation of the procurement, serious previous contract failures or sanctions, or the submission or withholding of misleading or required information. National exclusion grounds also cover unlawful employment of foreign nationals, international sanctions, and convictions for tax offences. The bidder must provide the required confirmations and, where relevant, details and evidence concerning the circumstances and any measures taken to restore reliability. These exclusion grounds also apply to first-tier subcontractors whose capacity the bidder relies on; such subcontractors must submit a European Single Procurement Document. For tax and social security debts, the stated threshold is EUR 0; under Estonian rules, a tax debt certificate is not issued where the relevant debt is below EUR 100 or payment has been deferred, subject to the applicable legal rules.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not specify financial capacity, turnover, previous experience, personnel or other precise qualification criteria; these must be checked in the official tender documents. The bidder must nevertheless comply with the tender documents and technical description, submit a non-conditional tender, and provide all required confirmations and evidence. The price must be submitted in the structure specified in the evaluation sheet using the digitally signed Annex 2 price form, including all work and costs necessary to achieve the procurement objective. The bidder must have visited the procurement site before the tender deadline at a time arranged with the contracting authority and must submit the confirmation letter issued for that visit. In a joint tender, the bidders must submit the power of attorney in Annex 5. If subcontracting is used, the bidder must submit the Annex 4 subcontracting form with information on the subcontractor's legal representatives, the nature of the subcontracted construction work and its percentage share. The bidder must not involve a subcontractor subject to replacement under the applicable procurement rules. Any claimed equivalence to a required standard, technical approval, label or other reference must be explained and supported by evidence where necessary. The bidder must also provide the required sanctions-related confirmations and may not use prohibited subcontractors or suppliers under the stated European Union restrictions concerning Russian persons and entities for more than 10% of the contract value.
