The bidder must declare whether it or its representatives have relevant final convictions within the previous five years, including for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and child labour or human trafficking. The contracting authority also checks for unpaid taxes or social security contributions; breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or comparable situations; serious professional misconduct; agreements intended to distort competition; conflicts of interest or involvement in preparing the procurement; serious failures under previous contracts; false or misleading information, withheld information, failure to provide requested documents, or attempts to obtain confidential information or improperly influence decisions. National exclusion grounds also cover enabling a foreign national to work without a lawful basis, international sanctions, certain tax offences, local tax debt where stipulated in the tender documents, and restrictions on participation based on the bidder’s place of establishment. For tax debt, the notice states a threshold of EUR 0, while noting that a debt below EUR 100 or a debt whose payment has been deferred does not result in a tax-debt certificate under the applicable Estonian rules. Where legally available, the bidder may describe measures taken to restore its reliability. First-tier subcontractors are checked for exclusion grounds; second- and subsequent-tier subcontractors are not checked under these conditions. The tender documents require the bidder to confirm that it will not engage a subcontractor who must be replaced under the applicable rules.
