The exclusion grounds include at least participation in a criminal organisation, corruption and fraud. For these grounds, the notice asks whether the bidder or a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body, a procurator or another person with authority to represent it has been finally convicted within the last 5 years, and whether the exclusion period is still in force. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures, where permitted. Some information may be electronically available, but the exact exclusion grounds must be checked in the tender documents if needed.

The bidder must also have at least 4 similar services performed during the last 60 months, with a museum or memory institution as the client.
