Ordering Occupational Health Services for Institutions of Lääne-Harju Municipality

The exclusion grounds apply to the economic operator and its administrative, management or supervisory body members and authorised representatives. They include final convictions within the last five years for fraud, participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, terrorist offences or related offences, illegal child labour, human trafficking, money laundering or terrorist financing; any exclusion ban that remains in force is also relevant. Where applicable, the operator may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. Grounds for exclusion also include breaches of tax or social security contribution payment obligations, and enabling a foreign national residing in the country without a legal basis to work or enabling a breach of the conditions for a foreign national’s employment in Estonia. The notice specifies a threshold of EUR 0 for tax debt; the accompanying information states that an Estonian tax debt certificate is not issued where the debt is below EUR 100 or its payment has been rescheduled. For a foreign operator, tax debt evidence is issued under the law of its country of establishment. The contracting authority also checks whether the operator is subject to an international sanction. The bidder must confirm that it will not engage a subcontractor during contract performance who would have to be replaced under the applicable rules.

The bidder must be entered in the business register of its country of establishment. It must hold a valid Health Board specialist medical care activity licence for providing occupational health services. The contracting authority will check the licence in the public register; if it cannot be verified there, the bidder must provide a copy on request. The bidder’s average annual net turnover from healthcare services over the last three completed financial years must be at least EUR 35,000. If it has operated for fewer than three years, the average for its period of operation must meet the same threshold. Joint bidders may aggregate their figures. During the 36 months preceding the start of the procurement, the bidder must have properly performed at least two contracts for comparable occupational health services. Each contract must have a value of at least EUR 30,000 excluding VAT and cover occupational physician health checks for at least 200 employees per year. Ongoing contracts may be used if the required volume has been completed. The bidder must provide details of the qualifying contracts with its tender; joint bidders may aggregate their figures. Joint bidders must appoint an authorised representative and include the relevant power of attorney with the tender. The tender must accept all procurement document conditions; conditional tenders are not permitted. Prices must be entered in the structure specified in the price evaluation worksheet. The bidder must identify and justify any trade secrets, but may not classify the tender price or other specified evaluation-related numerical indicators as trade secrets. The bidder must confirm that it will not use a subcontractor who would have to be replaced under the applicable rules, and that the bidder, its subcontractors and any relied-on entities are not established or resident in Russia or Belarus. No specific award-scoring criteria are stated in the provided documents.
