Compliance requirements
The tender documents list the standard mandatory exclusion grounds, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as other grounds under the Public Procurement Act. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may be allowed to show self-cleaning measures where the law or tender documents permit it. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list in the excerpt, so the exact exclusion grounds must be checked in the tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The bidder must be registered in the commercial register or an equivalent register in its country of establishment and, where required, submit a valid registration certificate or a copy of the articles of association. If the right of representation is not shown in the register, a power of attorney must be provided.
