Purchase of electrical equipment

The exclusion grounds cover final convictions within the previous five years, or an ongoing exclusion period, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and child labour or human trafficking. They also include breaches of tax or social-security payment obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, creditor arrangements, court or liquidator control of assets, or suspended business activity; and serious breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations or professional conduct rules. A bidder may also be excluded for competition-distorting agreements, an unmanageable conflict of interest, involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an unavoidable competitive advantage, or significant or repeated failures under previous contracts resulting in early termination, damages, price reduction or penalties. Grounds further include false or misleading information, withholding required information, failure to provide requested supporting documents, or improperly seeking confidential information or influencing the contracting authority's decisions. National grounds include enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national, being subject to applicable international or Estonian government sanctions, and relevant tax-offence convictions. Where permitted by law and the procurement documents, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.

For both lots, the bidder must have completed at least three similar electrical-equipment sales transactions during the 36 months preceding the start of the procurement. Each transaction must have a value of at least EUR 2,000 excluding VAT and must have been properly performed. Similar transactions include sales of electrical equipment and components, such as distribution boards, connecting cables, extension cords and their components. The bidder demonstrates this initially through the ESPD and the information provided with it; no additional evidence is required with the tender, and the contracting authority will verify the transactions of the successful bidder. The tender must include the completed technical-compliance form and unit prices for all required products for the relevant lot: Form I and specification 1A for Lot 1, or Form II and specification 1B for Lot 2. The form must include all required technical information and be completed in accordance with its instructions. The product basket total, calculated from the listed unit prices, is the award criterion. Prices for orders placed through the end of 2027 must remain unchanged during that period. The bidder must offer a warranty of at least 24 calendar months from delivery and provide Estonian-language customer service and advice by telephone and email throughout the framework agreement. The bidder must confirm that the offered goods meet the tender requirements and are not subject to international sanctions or from sanctioned regions. Where applicable, the bidder must explain and provide evidence of equivalence. A conditional tender is not permitted. Joint bidders must appoint an authorised representative and provide their power of attorney. Any information claimed as a trade secret must be identified and justified; prices and other indicators used in evaluation may not be treated as trade secrets.
