Purchase of sterile standard and specialist surgical sets

A tenderer may be excluded for relevant convictions involving participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking; for failure to pay taxes or social security contributions; or for bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, suspension of business or similar circumstances. Other grounds include serious professional misconduct, competition-distorting agreements, an unmanageable conflict of interest, involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an unavoidable competitive advantage, or significant or repeated breach of an earlier contract resulting in early termination, damages, a price reduction or a penalty. Exclusion may also result from false or misleading information, withholding information or required documents, improperly seeking confidential information, breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations, enabling unlawful employment of a foreign national, international sanctions, or convictions for tax offences. For tax and social contribution arrears, the stated threshold is EUR 0; under Estonian rules, a tax debt below EUR 100 or a deferred debt may not result in a tax-debt certificate being issued. Where legally permitted, the tenderer may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.

For each lot, the tenderer must submit Form 2, the price breakdown table, technical documentation and the required quantity of samples before the tender submission deadline. Samples are not required if the proposed product has already been used at the hospital. The exact sample quantities are specified in the tender documents. The tenderer must confirm that the goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned regions. It must also confirm that it will not use subcontractors or suppliers for more than 10% of the contract value if they are Russian nationals, residents or entities established in Russia; are more than 50% owned, directly or indirectly, by such persons or entities; or act as their representatives or on their instructions. Where a joint tender is submitted, the joint tenderers must appoint an authorised representative and provide the relevant authorisation. The tenderer must identify any trade secrets in its tender and explain why they qualify; prices and other specified evaluation-related figures may not be classified as trade secrets. No specific financial or experience thresholds are stated in the available documents.
