Compliance requirements
The bidder and its representatives are checked against the usual exclusion grounds, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, child labour and human trafficking, as well as other convictions or breaches listed in law. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning where permitted. The bidder must also confirm payment of taxes and social security contributions and provide details of authorised persons if the contracting authority cannot see them in the business register. Under the sanctions rules, subcontractors and suppliers linked to Russia that fall within the specified categories may not be used for more than 10% of the contract value, and the offered goods must not be subject to international sanctions or originate from sanctioned territories.
