Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the standard exclusion grounds, especially that neither the company nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members, nor persons authorised to represent, decide for or control the company, have been finally convicted in the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and the other mandatory exclusion grounds listed in the tender documents. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may have to provide evidence of self-cleaning where allowed. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list in a concise form, so the exact exclusion grounds must be checked in the tender documents.
