Compliance requirements
A bidder may be excluded if the bidder or a person with authority to represent, manage or control it has a relevant final conviction within the last five years, including for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or child labour and human trafficking. Exclusion grounds also include outstanding tax or social security payment obligations, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, liquidation, administration of assets by a liquidator or court, and suspension of business activities. A mandatory national ground applies for enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national or breaching the conditions for their employment in Estonia. The bidder must also confirm that entering into the contract would not breach international or Estonian sanctions and that the offered vehicle is not subject to sanctions or from a sanctioned region. The notice states that tax debts below EUR 100, excluding interest not established by an administrative act, or debts whose payment has been deferred are treated according to the stated exception. Where applicable, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.
