Compliance requirements
The bidder may be excluded if it, or a member of its management, administrative or supervisory body or another person authorised to represent or control it, has a relevant final criminal conviction within the last five years. The listed offences include 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. Exclusion may also apply for unpaid taxes or social security contributions, or where awarding the contract would breach an international or Estonian government sanction. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability. The notice sets the threshold for tax and social security arrears at EUR 0; its explanatory note states that, under Estonian rules, a tax-debt certificate is not issued for debt below EUR 100 or where payment has been rescheduled.
