Compliance requirements
The bidder, including each member of a joint bidding group, must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds applies, using Form I. Grounds include final convictions within the previous five years, or an exclusion period that remains in force, for fraud, corruption, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking, and participation in a criminal organisation. Grounds also include unpaid taxes or social security contributions, enabling a foreign national to work without a legal basis or in breach of employment conditions, and entering into a contract with an entity that would violate international or Estonian sanctions. The contracting authority also applies the statutory grounds under section 95(1) or (4) of the Public Procurement Act. Where applicable, the bidder may be asked to provide information on the matter and any measures taken to demonstrate reliability.
