A bidder will be excluded if it, or a member of its management, supervisory or administrative body or an authorised representative connected with the procurement, has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, breach of professional integrity, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, unlawfully enabling a foreign national to work, unlawful use of child labour or human trafficking. A bidder or relevant representative subject to an international sanction will also be excluded. The contracting authority may also exclude a bidder on other grounds set out in the applicable public procurement legislation. A bidder with outstanding national taxes, duties or environmental charges, or unpaid taxes or social security contributions under the law of its country of establishment, will be excluded. The contracting authority will check this for bidders registered in Estonia. A foreign bidder may be asked to provide a certificate from the competent authority in its country if the information cannot be verified through publicly available records. Bidders, including each member of a consortium, must confirm that no exclusion grounds apply.
