Compliance requirements
The exclusion grounds include at least participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, money laundering or terrorist financing, and child labour or other forms of human trafficking. For these grounds, the notice asks whether the bidder itself or a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body, a procurator or another person with authority to represent the bidder has been finally convicted within the last 5 years and whether the exclusion period still applies. If an exclusion ground exists, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures to restore reliability. The machine-readable notice did not show all exclusion grounds in full; the exact conditions must be checked in the tender documents.
