Publication of public auction notices (Estonian Land and Spatial Planning Board)

The ESPD asks the bidder to declare whether the bidder or its relevant representatives have, within the last five years or while an exclusion period remains in force, been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or child labour or other forms of human trafficking. It also covers breaches of tax or social-security payment obligations; environmental, social or labour-law obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or comparable situations; serious professional misconduct; agreements intended to distort competition; an unmanageable conflict of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an unavoidable competitive advantage; and significant or persistent failures under previous public contracts resulting in early termination, damages, price reduction or comparable penalties. The bidder must also declare whether it has provided false information, withheld required information or documents, or improperly sought confidential information or influenced the contracting authority’s decisions. National grounds include enabling a foreign national to work without legal basis or in breach of Estonian employment conditions, including the applicable minimum pay; being subject to an international or Estonian government sanction that would make contract award unlawful; relevant tax-crime convictions; and restrictions on participation based on the bidder’s place of establishment. These grounds apply to all lots. For tax debts, the notice sets a threshold of EUR 0, while explaining that a tax-debt certificate is not issued for debt below EUR 100 (excluding interest not established by an administrative act) or where payment has been deferred. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.

For Lot 1, the bidder must identify the nationally distributed print newspaper in which the notices will appear. The newspaper must be published in Estonian, have readers in every Estonian county during the first half of 2026, and be a member publication of the Estonian Association of Media Enterprises or an equivalent organisation. The bid must include information or references to public sources demonstrating compliance, including the print newspaper’s reader numbers by county for the first half of 2026. The bidder must also provide the newspaper’s average single-issue circulation for September 2026; this figure is an evaluation criterion. For Lot 2, the bidder must identify the real-estate listings website by name and web address. Each ordered banner must be published at the time specified by the contracting authority for two periods of seven days. It must appear in a visible advertising placement, and its link must lead to the land auction environment specified by the Estonian Land and Spatial Planning Board and remain operational throughout the publication period. For either lot, the bid must confirm compliance with the tender documents; conditional bids are not permitted. Prices must follow the structure specified in the tender documents. Joint bidders must appoint an authorised representative and provide the relevant power of attorney. The bidder must identify any trade secrets and explain why the information qualifies, but may not designate the bid price or evaluation-related figures as trade secrets. The bidder must provide the names and personal identification codes of authorised persons entitled to represent, make decisions for or control it who are not listed in the commercial register, or confirm that there are none. No other specific financial-capacity or prior-experience thresholds are stated in the supplied documents.
