Compliance requirements
The tenderer may be excluded for relevant final criminal convictions involving the tenderer or its managers, governing or supervisory body members, or authorised representatives, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and child labour or human trafficking. The grounds also cover unpaid taxes or social security contributions; breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, creditor arrangements, comparable proceedings, court- or liquidator-controlled assets or suspended business; serious professional misconduct; agreements intended to distort competition; an unmanageable conflict of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an unavoidable competitive advantage; serious or repeated breaches of earlier contracts resulting in early termination, damages or comparable sanctions; false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, and improper attempts to influence the procurement or obtain confidential information. National grounds include enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national, being subject to applicable international or national sanctions, and relevant tax-crime convictions. The notice states that a tax or social-contribution debt threshold is EUR 0; under the additional explanation, Estonian tax authorities do not issue a debt certificate for amounts below EUR 100, excluding interest not established by an administrative act, or where payment has been deferred. Where permitted, the tenderer may provide evidence of remedial measures to restore reliability; this possibility applies to procurements above the international threshold or where provided for in the procurement documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The tenderer must have performed at least one similar design contract during the 36 months preceding publication of the contract notice. The tenderer must have acted as the lead contractor, and the design must cover a building, part of a building or a building complex with at least 400 m² of gross internal floor area. The work must have reached at least the basic design stage and include architecture (including interior architecture), structural design, building services (heating and ventilation, heat supply, water supply and sewerage), electrical systems (power, low-voltage and automation) and fire safety. A contract need not be completed by the start of this procurement, provided the required minimum scope has been performed. List the reference contract in the procurement passport, including the client and contact details, project, designed floor area and performance period; include the procurement reference number if it was awarded through a public procurement. Be ready to provide supporting evidence if the information is not available in public databases.
The team must include a project manager with at least a Level 7 Chartered Building Engineer qualification, specialising in Building Construction and with the selected competence in Design Management or Preparation of Building Design Documentation, or an equivalent qualification. The design team must also include a specialist for heating, ventilation and cooling with at least a Level 7 Chartered Heating, Ventilation and Cooling Engineer qualification and competence in designing indoor climate systems, and a structural design specialist with at least a Level 7 Chartered Building Engineer qualification, specialising in Building Construction and competent to prepare building design documentation. Equivalent qualifications are accepted, but initial qualifications based solely on education are not. Provide the required information for each specialist using Form 4. For qualifications awarded outside Estonia, provide a copy of the qualification document and a document from the competent Estonian authority confirming its equivalence to the required qualification. One person may cover multiple areas if qualified.
Submit Form 2 and Form 3 as prescribed, without changing the other cells or formulas in Form 3, and enter the resulting VAT-exclusive total in the designated e-procurement worksheet. The bid must adopt all tender-document requirements and account for the services and work volumes needed to meet the contracting authority’s objectives. Confirm compliance with the technical description; explain and evidence any claimed equivalence. If submitting jointly, appoint an authorised representative and include the joint bidders’ power of attorney. Identify and justify any trade secrets; the bid price and price components may not be designated as trade secrets. No precise award-scoring criteria are specified in the provided document text.
