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, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering, child labour or human trafficking, and other mandatory exclusion grounds listed in the tender documents. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may need to show self-cleaning measures where allowed. 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.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification or suitability criteria; these must be checked in the tender documents. The ESPD does, however, include exclusion grounds and bidder declarations, including proof of payment of taxes and social security contributions and, where relevant, information on representatives, subcontractors and reliance on other entities. Any additional requirements in the tender documents must also be met. The exact qualification requirements must be checked in the tender documents, if any are set out there in more detail. The machine-readable notice did not include precise requirements and they must be checked in the official tender documents or tender documents.
