Purchase of construction materials

The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its relevant representatives have been convicted within the applicable period for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or child labour and human trafficking offences. Other grounds include unpaid taxes or social-security contributions; insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or suspended business activity; serious professional misconduct; agreements distorting competition; an unmanageable conflict of interest or an unfair advantage from involvement in preparing the procurement; serious or repeated breaches of earlier contracts resulting in early termination, damages or comparable sanctions; false or misleading information, withholding information or failing to provide requested documents; improper attempts to influence the procedure or obtain confidential information; and breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations. National grounds also cover enabling an unlawfully present foreign national to work or breaching foreign-worker employment conditions, being subject to international sanctions, and certain tax offences. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. Tax-debt evidence is subject to the stated national rule: a debt below EUR 100, excluding interest not established by an administrative act, or a debt whose payment has been deferred is treated as specified in the tender-pass text.

No specific financial-capacity, turnover, prior-experience, certification or personnel requirements are stated in the supplied tender-pass text. The bidder must nevertheless meet the technical and compliance requirements: offer a product for every basket line, provide its exact name and product code where available, and provide information demonstrating equivalence if proposing an equivalent product. The bidder must have at least one representative shop within Tallinn throughout the 36-month framework-agreement term and submit its address and opening hours. Submit the VAT-exclusive price both through the electronic procurement system and on the contracting authority’s completed price form. Joint bidders must appoint an authorised representative and include the power of attorney. The bidder must also identify and justify any claimed trade secrets and confirm that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned regions.
