Public bus services on Tartu city routes 31 and 31R

The tenderer must confirm that neither it nor its management, administrative or supervisory members or representatives has, within the previous five years, been convicted of corruption, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking, participation in a criminal organisation, or fraud; there must also be no active exclusion period arising from such a conviction. Any measures taken to restore reliability may be described where applicable. Failure to pay taxes or social security contributions may be grounds for exclusion. The notice specifies a threshold of EUR 0 for tax debt; however, it also states that the tax authority does not issue a certificate for debt below EUR 100 or where payment has been deferred. For a foreign tenderer, tax-debt certificates are issued under the law of its country of establishment. Other grounds include breaches of environmental, social or labour-law obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or a comparable situation; assets being administered by a liquidator or court; suspended business activities; serious professional misconduct; agreements distorting competition; an unavoidable conflict of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement in a way that confers an undue advantage; serious or repeated breach of a previous contract; provision of false information, failure to submit required information or documents, or seeking confidential information to gain an improper advantage. Under Estonian law, grounds also include a conviction for enabling a person residing in the country unlawfully to work, or for breaching the conditions governing a foreign national’s employment in Estonia, and being subject to an international sanction. Additional possible grounds are unpaid local taxes in the contracting authority’s area and a conviction for a tax offence.

The tenderer must hold a valid community licence under section 39(1) of the Public Transport Act and have a valid entry in the Register of Economic Activities for passenger transport by the bid submission deadline. The contracting authority will check the registration and may request supporting documents. The tenderer must have at least two years of uninterrupted experience operating bus routes during the 24 months preceding the contract notice, at a scale comparable to this contract. A break of up to three months between successive contracts or route permits is allowed. Provide details of at least one relevant contract, including its period, value, contracting authority and contact details. The tenderer must have a bus with at least 17 places, including at least 16 seats and one wheelchair space, meeting the requirements for M2 or M3 vehicles under Directive 2007/46/EC and its amendments. A reserve bus of similar capacity must also be available if the main bus cannot operate for technical reasons. Provide an overview of the buses, including registration numbers, enabling compliance to be checked, and confirm that the buses meet the technical requirements in Annex 2 of the tender documents. By submitting a bid, the tenderer confirms acceptance of all tender-document requirements. Conditional bids are not allowed. Identify any information in the bid claimed as a trade secret and explain why; bid prices and other specified numerical indicators used for evaluation may not be classified as trade secrets. No award criteria or scoring details are stated in the provided documents.
