Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor the members of its management, administrative or supervisory bodies have, within the last five years, been finally convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, or any other exclusion ground listed in the ESPD. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning measures, where permitted. The ESPD may also require the date, reason, convicted person, duration of exclusion, and whether the information is electronically available. In other respects, the machine-readable notice did not include precise exclusion grounds; they must be checked in the tender documents.
