Compliance requirements
The bidder, or a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body or its representative, must not be subject to exclusion on grounds relating to participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or activities, money laundering or terrorist financing, unlawful use of child labour or human trafficking. Final convictions from the preceding five years and any exclusion period that remains in force are relevant.
The bidder must not have outstanding tax or social security payment obligations. The Estonian tax authority does not issue a tax-debt certificate where the debt is below EUR 100 or payment has been deferred; for a foreign bidder, the rules of its country of establishment apply. Exclusion also applies to enabling a foreign national staying in the country unlawfully to work, or breaching the conditions for a foreign national’s employment, including paying below the statutory wage, and to being subject to an international sanction. Where permitted by law, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability; the submission time depends on the procedure.
