Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its relevant representatives have grounds for exclusion arising from convictions in the previous five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or the use of child labour or other forms of human trafficking. Exclusion grounds also include tax or social security payment arrears, enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national or breaches of conditions for employing a foreign national in Estonia, including paying less than the legally prescribed wage, and being subject to international or Estonian government sanctions. The notice states a threshold of EUR 0 for tax and social security arrears; it also notes that, under Estonian rules, a tax debt certificate is not issued for a debt below EUR 100 or where payment has been deferred. The bidder may be asked to provide further evidence to verify a sanctions-related exclusion ground.
