Design and construction works for a battery storage system at Järve 1

A bidder may be excluded if, within the previous five years or while an exclusion period remains in force, the bidder or a person with authority to represent, direct or control it has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or child labour or human trafficking offences. Exclusion grounds also cover unpaid taxes or social security contributions, enabling a foreign national to work without a legal basis or in breach of employment conditions, and contracting with an entity subject to an international or Estonian government sanction. The tax-arrears rule takes account of the applicable Estonian exception for debts below EUR 100 and rescheduled debts. Where legally available, the bidder may submit evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.

The bidder must have properly completed at least two contracts for the installation of a battery energy storage system during the 60 months preceding the start of the procurement. Work may have started earlier, but it must have been completed by the date the contract notice was published. Each contract must be comparable in scale, with a total value of at least EUR 40,000 excluding VAT. The successful bidder must provide evidence that the work was performed properly, such as confirmation letters from the clients.
