Compliance requirements
The bidder must declare whether it or its representatives have relevant convictions, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking, and whether it has unpaid taxes or social-security contributions. Other grounds include bankruptcy or insolvency, liquidation, suspended business activity, serious professional misconduct, competition-distorting agreements, unmanaged conflicts of interest, involvement in preparing this procurement, serious or repeated breaches of previous contracts, false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, or attempts to obtain confidential information improperly. Environmental, social and labour-law breaches are also covered. National grounds include enabling unlawful employment of a foreign national, being subject to an international sanction, and certain tax offences. A tax-debt threshold of EUR 0 is stated; the document notes that an Estonian tax-debt certificate is not issued where the debt is below EUR 100 or its payment has been rescheduled. Where the law and procurement conditions allow, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.
