Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the mandatory exclusion grounds apply: no convictions for organised crime, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing; no conviction for unlawful employment of a foreign national or for enabling breach of foreign workers’ employment conditions, including payment below the statutory wage; no conviction for illegal use of child labour or human trafficking; and no tax, fee, environmental charge, social security or similar debt under the applicable rules. The buyer may also exclude a bidder for serious or repeated breach of earlier public contracts, or if the bidder has provided false information or failed to submit required information or additional documents. The bidder must also confirm that its place of establishment is not in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus, and that the offered goods and their components are not produced in or originating from Russia or Belarus. The machine-readable notice did not include any further precise exclusion grounds; the official tender documents must be checked.
