Compliance requirements
The bidder must be excluded if the bidder or its authorised representatives have been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing. Exclusion also applies in case of offences related to enabling the employment of an illegally staying foreign national, illegal use of child labour, tax debt, or breach of an international sanction or a sanction of the Government of the Republic. In addition, the bidder must confirm that none of these exclusion grounds apply.
