Compliance requirements
The machine-readable notice includes mandatory exclusion grounds for criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and other standard conviction-based grounds from the tender passport. For each ground, the bidder must confirm whether it applies, and if it does, provide the conviction date, reason, who was convicted, the exclusion period stated in the judgment, and whether self-cleaning measures were taken. The notice also indicates that evidence may be submitted to show restored reliability, and that the possibility of self-cleaning depends on the legal conditions or the tender documents.
