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, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or other forms of human trafficking, and the other mandatory exclusion grounds listed in the tender documents. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may be allowed to prove self-cleaning measures where the procurement rules permit it. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list in a compact form, so the exact exclusion grounds must be checked in the tender documents.
