The bidder must declare whether it or its relevant representatives have been convicted within the past five years of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or offences involving child labour or human trafficking. Exclusion grounds also include unpaid taxes or social security contributions; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceedings; suspended business activity; serious professional misconduct; agreements intended to distort competition; an unmanageable conflict of interest or improper involvement in preparing the procurement; serious or repeated breaches of earlier contracts resulting in termination, damages or penalties; false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, or attempts to obtain confidential information or influence the procurement improperly; and breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations. National grounds include enabling an unlawfully present foreign national to work, being subject to international sanctions, and tax offences. For tax debts in Estonia, the notice explains that a certificate is not issued where the debt is below EUR 100 or payment has been deferred; foreign bidders are assessed under the rules of their country of establishment. Where legally applicable, a bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.
