Compliance requirements
The tender documents include mandatory exclusion grounds based on final convictions, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and other similar offences. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may have to provide evidence of self-cleaning, if allowed by the procurement rules or the tender documents. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list in a concise form, so the official tender documents must be checked for the exact grounds and any rehabilitation conditions.
