Compliance requirements
The machine-readable notice includes the standard exclusion grounds from the tender passport, including convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour and other forms of human trafficking, fraud, terrorist offences and related crimes. The bidder must confirm whether any of these grounds apply to the bidder, its management or supervisory bodies, or persons authorised to represent or control it. If an exclusion ground exists, the bidder may be allowed to submit evidence of self-cleaning, where permitted by law or the tender documents. The exact list and any detailed conditions must be checked in the tender documents.
