Compliance requirements
A bidder may be excluded if it, or a person in its management, supervisory or representative roles, has a relevant final conviction within the last five years, or remains subject to an exclusion period, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or child labour or other forms of human trafficking. Exclusion grounds also include unpaid taxes or social security contributions, and convictions for enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national, including paying less than the legally required wage. A bidder may be excluded if awarding the contract to it would breach an international or Estonian government sanction. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. Tax debts below EUR 100, excluding interest not established by an administrative act, or debts for which payment has been rescheduled, are treated as described in the tender documents.
