The tender documents include mandatory exclusion grounds based on criminal convictions, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and terrorist offences. The bidder or its management, administrative or supervisory body members, or persons authorised to represent, decide for or control the bidder must not have a relevant final conviction within the last five years, unless the exclusion period has expired. If an exclusion ground exists, the bidder may provide evidence of self-cleaning measures. The notice also includes a sanctions-related confirmation: the bidder confirms that it will not use subcontractors or suppliers representing more than 10% of the contract value if they are Russian nationals, residents, entities established in the Russian Federation, entities more than 50% owned by such persons or entities, or persons acting on their instructions.

The machine-readable notice did not include precise qualification, suitability or compliance requirements; these must be checked in the tender documents. As compliance conditions, the bidder must confirm that the bid complies with the tender documents, that the bid price is submitted in the required structure, and that subcontractors or suppliers representing more than 10% of the contract value are not Russian nationals, residents, entities established in the Russian Federation, or persons/entities owned or controlled by them or acting on their instructions. The bid must also state which information is confidential business information, or confirm that the bid contains no trade secrets.
