The machine-readable notice includes mandatory exclusion grounds based on criminal convictions, at least for participation in a criminal organisation and corruption. The bidder must confirm whether any of the listed exclusion grounds apply to the company or to persons who represent or control it. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may need to provide details of the conviction and any self-cleaning measures. The exact full list of exclusion grounds should be checked in the tender documents.

The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents. The ESPD refers to exclusion grounds, and the bidder may need to provide evidence of a wholesale medicines trading licence and compliance with all requirements set out in the technical specification and bid form. If the tender documents specify additional conditions such as experience, turnover, team or other proof requirements, they must be verified there.
