Compliance requirements
The exclusion grounds mainly concern final criminal convictions, such as participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, money laundering, terrorist offences, child labour and human trafficking. The ESPD requires confirmation whether such grounds apply to the bidder, its management body members or other persons with representation authority. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures where permitted. The machine-readable notice did not include all precise exclusion grounds; they must be checked in the tender documents.
