Compliance requirements
The bidder and relevant persons authorised to represent, direct or control it must not be subject to applicable exclusion grounds. These include final convictions within the previous five years (or a continuing 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 unpaid taxes or social-security contributions; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, suspended business activity or comparable situations; serious professional misconduct; agreements with other businesses to distort competition; an unmanageable conflict of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement where an advantage cannot otherwise be addressed; and serious or persistent failures under previous public contracts resulting in early termination, damages or comparable sanctions.
Further grounds include false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, or attempts to improperly influence the procurement or obtain confidential information. Exclusion may also apply for breaches of environmental, social or labour-law obligations, enabling employment of a foreign national without a lawful basis, being subject to an applicable international or Estonian government sanction, conviction for tax offences, or being ineligible to submit a bid under a restriction based on the bidder’s place of establishment. The bidder must also declare that the goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned areas. Where a ground permits remedial measures, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability, where permitted by law or the tender documents. For Estonian tax debts, the stated threshold is EUR 0; the notice explains that a tax-debt certificate is not issued for debt below EUR 100, excluding undetermined interest, or where payment has been rescheduled.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The provided documents do not specify financial-capacity, previous-experience or staffing thresholds. The bidder must submit a technical offer that clearly states the proposed device’s parameters and demonstrates compliance with the technical specification. The device must be new and meet the tender requirements.
The price must include delivery to the Faculty of Economics at Narva mnt 18, Tartu, installation and configuration (including transferring the address book and other relevant data from the previous device, creating user accounts and connecting them to staff computers), user training, and removal of the device when the rental ends or is terminated early. The monthly rental charge must remain unchanged throughout the rental period and include spare parts, consumables—including paper for student and guest printing—maintenance, repairs and call-outs. The prices for A4 black-and-white, A4 colour, A3 black-and-white and A3 colour prints are additional to the monthly rental charge and must not increase during the rental period.
The bid must remain valid for at least three months after the submission deadline. If awarded, the signed contract must be returned within five calendar days of receipt of the contract signed by the contracting authority. Where the person submitting the bid is not the bidder’s legal representative, submit the authorisation document using the required form. For a joint bid, submit the representative’s authorisation and confirmation of joint and several liability using the required form; submit a separate ESPD for each joint bidder. Confirm acceptance of the tender conditions and compliance of the bid, and provide evidence of equivalence where applicable. The documents also require declarations concerning sanctions and Russian ownership or involvement, and details of persons authorised to represent, direct or control the bidder who are not identifiable from the relevant register. Price-evaluation details are not specified in the provided documents and should be checked in the official tender documents.
