Compliance requirements
The bidder may be excluded if the bidder or a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body, or a person empowered to represent, make decisions for or control it, has a relevant final conviction within the preceding five years, or remains subject to an exclusion period. The listed offences are 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 in the bidder’s country of establishment or the contracting authority’s country. The stated threshold is EUR 0; however, under the notice, the tax authority does not issue a tax-debt certificate where the debt is below EUR 100 (excluding interest not established by an administrative act) or payment has been deferred. Foreign bidders are subject to the rules of their country of establishment. National grounds also include enabling a foreign national staying unlawfully to work, and entering into the contract in a way that would breach an international or Estonian government sanction.
