Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the mandatory exclusion grounds listed in the tender documents, including convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and terrorist offences. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may need to provide evidence of self-cleaning measures, where allowed by law or the tender documents. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds, so the official tender documents must be checked.
