Road transport of timber for Luua Forestry School, 2027–2029

The ESPD asks the bidder to declare whether the bidder or relevant persons have been convicted within the previous five years of offences including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and child labour or human trafficking. Grounds also cover unpaid taxes or social security contributions; breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, suspended business or comparable situations; serious professional misconduct; agreements that distort competition; conflicts of interest or involvement in preparing the procurement where these cannot otherwise be remedied; serious or repeated breaches of previous contracts; false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, and attempts to obtain confidential information improperly. National grounds include enabling unlawful employment of a foreign national, contracting with a person subject to applicable international sanctions, and certain tax offences. Where a ground applies, the ESPD allows details and, where legally available, evidence of measures taken to restore reliability. The bidder must also confirm that it will not use subcontractors or suppliers for more than 10% of the contract value if they are Russian citizens, residents or entities established in Russia; are more than 50% directly or indirectly owned by such persons or entities; or act on their behalf or under their instructions. A bid that would result in a contract prohibited by the applicable sanctions rules will be rejected.

For either lot, the bidder must hold the activity licence required under Chapter 2 of the Estonian Road Transport Act to organise the carriage of goods for payment. The bidder must confirm this in the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD). As of the tender submission deadline, the bidder must own or have available under a lease at least two timber-haulage road trains for each lot bid for. If bidding for both lots, the requirements are cumulative, so the bidder must have at least four road trains in total. The vehicles must meet the requirements in section 5.5 of the tender documents. The ESPD must include confirmations and a list of the timber trucks to be used, with their registration numbers; trailer details need not be provided. The contracting authority may request the successful bidder’s vehicle registration documents and, where a vehicle is leased, a copy of the lease agreement. The bid must be submitted by the bidder’s legal representative or an authorised person; an authorisation document must accompany the bid if required. The bidder must provide the required bid guarantee and supporting evidence under sections 6.1–6.6 of the tender documents. It must also submit the completed price offer form in Annex 2, including the price coefficient for the school’s price framework; the coefficient must be stated to three decimal places. The bid must remain valid for four months from the submission deadline. Check the tender documents for the detailed guarantee conditions.
