Compliance requirements
A bidder may be excluded if the bidder, or a person with relevant management, supervisory or representative authority, has a qualifying conviction within the previous 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, child labour or human trafficking. Exclusion grounds also include outstanding tax or social security contributions, enabling a foreign national to work unlawfully, and entering into a contract that would breach international or Estonian government sanctions. The stated threshold for tax and social security contribution arrears is EUR 0; the notice notes that tax arrears under EUR 100 or arrears subject to a payment schedule are treated differently under the applicable tax rules. Where permitted for this procurement, a bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.
