Compliance requirements
The European Single Procurement Document requires declarations concerning exclusion grounds. These include convictions within the previous five years, or a continuing exclusion period, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and child labour or human trafficking. Other grounds include unpaid taxes or social security contributions; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, suspended business activity or comparable situations; serious professional misconduct; agreements intended to distort competition; conflicts of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement where an advantage cannot otherwise be avoided; early termination or comparable sanctions for previous contracts; false, misleading or withheld information, failure to provide requested supporting documents, or improper attempts to influence the procurement or obtain confidential information; and breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations. National grounds also cover enabling unlawful employment of foreign nationals, contracting with a person or entity in breach of international or Estonian government sanctions, and relevant tax offences. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.
