Ordering taxi services

A bidder must confirm that none of the mandatory exclusion grounds apply. These include relevant convictions involving organised crime, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, unlawful employment, child labour or human trafficking; outstanding tax, social security or environmental levy debts; and contracting that would breach international or national sanctions. A bidder established outside Estonia must provide the specified criminal-record or equivalent authority documents and a certificate concerning tax and social security obligations. The contracting authority may also exclude bidders for breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations; insolvency or similar circumstances; serious professional misconduct; anti-competitive conduct; an unmanageable conflict of interest; an unfair advantage arising from involvement in preparing the procurement; serious or repeated failures under previous public contracts; false or missing qualification information; attempts to improperly influence the authority or obtain confidential information; tax-related offences; or lack of a legal right to submit a tender. A bidder may also be excluded if it breaches a restriction based on its place of establishment or residence, where such a restriction has been set in the tender documents.

The provided qualification document specifies no concrete turnover, financial-capacity, previous-experience, staffing or certification thresholds. The tender nevertheless sets these compliance requirements: - The bidder must confirm that its tender complies with the procurement documents; conditional tenders are not allowed. - The price must follow the structure specified in the pricing schedule. - If the bidder relies on an equivalent solution where a standard, mark, product or other reference is specified, it must explain the equivalence and provide supporting evidence where necessary. - Joint bidders must appoint an authorised representative from among themselves and include the relevant power of attorney. - The tender must be submitted by the bidder’s legal representative or an authorised person. A power of attorney is required where the submitter is not recorded as a legal representative; a foreign-registered bidder must provide evidence of the submitter’s authority. - The bidder must provide a central digital ordering environment for taxi services, as a mobile and/or web application, enabling rides to be ordered for another employee or a group of employees. - The bidder must identify any information in its tender that it claims as a trade secret and explain why. The tender price and other specified price or evaluation figures cannot be classified as trade secrets.
