The bidder may be excluded if the bidder, or a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body or a person authorised to represent, make decisions for or control it, has a relevant final conviction within the past five years or remains subject to an exclusion period. The grounds include participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and the use of child labour or other forms of human trafficking. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. Exclusion may also apply for failure to pay taxes or social security contributions. The stated threshold is EUR 0; the notice explains that an Estonian tax-debt certificate is not issued where the debt is less than EUR 100, excluding interest not established by an administrative act, or where payment has been deferred. A bidder may also be excluded for enabling a foreign national residing in the country without a legal basis to work, or for enabling breaches of the conditions for a foreign national’s work in Estonia, including payment below the statutory wage rate. Exclusion also applies where awarding the contract would breach an international sanction or a sanction imposed by the Estonian Government.
