Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the standard exclusion grounds in the tender documents, including convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour and other forms of human trafficking, terrorist offences and related crimes, and other mandatory exclusion grounds. The bidder may need to provide dates, reasons, the persons concerned, the exclusion period and evidence of self-cleaning where applicable. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list in a compact form; the exact exclusion grounds and any recovery/self-cleaning rules must be checked in the official tender documents.
