Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds in Sections 95(1)(1)–(5) of the Estonian Public Procurement Act applies. These grounds cover specified convictions involving criminal organisations, breaches of integrity, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering or terrorist financing; specified offences relating to illegal employment, foreign workers’ working conditions or pay, child labour or human trafficking; outstanding tax, duty or environmental-charge debts; and a contract award that would violate an international or Estonian government sanction.
The bidder must disclose known circumstances that could indicate a conflict of interest on the contracting authority’s side or an unfair competitive advantage arising from participation in preparing the procurement or another connection with the contracting authority. If such circumstances exist, provide a free-form explanation identifying the person concerned, the nature of the connection and the information or other relevant circumstances. The contracting authority will assess the information and take measures to prevent distortion of competition before considering exclusion on this basis.
