Procurement of FDI Intelligence tools

The tender passport lists exclusion grounds relating to final convictions within the previous five years, or a continuing exclusion period, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and child labour or human trafficking. It also covers unpaid taxes or social security contributions, an unresolved conflict of interest, and serious or repeated breaches of earlier public contracts resulting in early termination, damages, price reduction or penalties. National grounds include enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national and circumstances in which awarding the contract would breach international or Estonian sanctions. The bidder is asked to confirm whether any ground applies and, where relevant, provide details; evidence of measures taken to restore reliability may be submitted where permitted. Tax and social contribution debts are subject to the stated zero-euro threshold, with the notice explaining that a tax-debt certificate is not issued for a debt below EUR 100 or where payment has been deferred.

No specific financial-capacity, turnover, or previous-experience thresholds are stated.

For a joint bid, the bidders must appoint an authorised representative and submit a power of attorney.
