Compliance requirements
The bidder must declare whether it or its representatives have relevant convictions, including for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering, terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking, or tax offences. The grounds also cover unpaid taxes or social security contributions; breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, creditor arrangements, court-administered assets or suspended business activity; serious professional misconduct; agreements intended to distort competition; conflicts of interest or involvement in preparing the procurement; significant failures under previous contracts, including early termination, damages or comparable sanctions; false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, or improper attempts to obtain confidential information. The bidder must also declare whether contracting with it would breach an international or Estonian government sanction, and whether it or its representatives have enabled an unlawfully present foreign national to work or breached applicable employment conditions. The latter is a mandatory exclusion ground; tax offences are a discretionary ground. Where applicable, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. For unpaid tax debts, the notice states that a tax-debt certificate is not issued for debt below EUR 100 or where payment has been deferred.
