Compliance requirements
The machine-readable notice includes mandatory exclusion grounds such as participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and other criminal-conviction-based grounds. A bidder or its managers/representatives may be excluded if such a final conviction exists within the last five years or if the exclusion period in the judgment is still in force. The bidder may also be asked to confirm whether it has taken self-cleaning measures and whether the information is electronically available. The exact list and wording should be checked in the tender documents.
