Stocking eels in 2027

The bidder may be excluded if it, or a person in its management, supervisory or control bodies or authorised to represent or control it, has a relevant conviction within the past five years or remains subject to an exclusion period for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. Exclusion may also apply where the bidder has failed to pay taxes or social security contributions, or where entering into the contract would breach an international or Estonian government sanction. The bidder is asked to declare whether any of these grounds apply. Where permitted, it may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. For Estonian tax debts, the notice states that a certificate is not issued where the debt is under EUR 100 or payment has been deferred; foreign bidders are assessed under the law of their country of establishment.

The bidder’s net turnover over the last three completed financial years must total at least EUR 600,000. The bidder must also have completed at least one sales contract in the 36 months preceding the start of the procurement for at least 100 kg of eels intended for stocking. The bid must include the buyer’s name and contact person, the contract date, the value and quantity sold, and a brief description of the contract. The bidder must submit the required confirmations and a quantity offer using Appendix 2, and provide a copy of a valid certificate in accordance with section 3.5 of Appendix 1. The eels must be delivered by 30 April 2027. For the amount specified in the tender documents, the buyer seeks the largest quantity of live glass eels, measured in kilograms; the quantity offered is evaluated. For a joint bid, include the joint bidders’ power of attorney and a separate ESPD for each joint bidder.
