Maintenance and repair of lifts and accessibility lifts

The European Single Procurement Document requires declarations concerning grounds for exclusion. These include final convictions within the preceding five years, or an ongoing exclusion period, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. The grounds also cover tax or social security payment defaults; breaches of environmental, social or labour law; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, creditor arrangements, similar proceedings, court or liquidator administration of assets, or suspended business activity; serious professional misconduct; agreements intended to distort competition; an unresolved conflict of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an unavoidable competitive advantage; and significant or persistent breaches of earlier contracts resulting in early termination, damages, price reduction or penalties. Exclusion may also apply for false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, or attempts to improperly influence the procedure or obtain confidential information. National grounds include enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national, being subject to an international sanction, and convictions for tax offences. For tax and social security debts, the stated threshold is EUR 0; under Estonian rules, a certificate is not issued for a debt below EUR 100 or where payment has been deferred. Where an exclusion ground applies, evidence of remedial measures may be submitted where permitted for this procurement.
