Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the standard exclusion grounds, including no final conviction in the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering, child labour or human trafficking, and other grounds listed in the tender documents. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may need to show self-cleaning measures where allowed. The machine-readable notice did not include the full precise list, so the official tender documents must be checked.
