Compliance requirements
The mandatory exclusion grounds concern participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or other terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, unlawful employment of foreigners, illegal use of child labour or human trafficking, and tax, fee, environmental charge or social security contribution arrears. The bidder must confirm that none of these grounds apply. The voluntary exclusion grounds cover serious or repeated breach of an earlier public contract and the submission of false information about compliance with selection criteria or failure to submit requested additional documents. The bidder must also confirm that its place of residence or establishment is not in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus, and that the materials, equipment and goods used in the works, including components, are not produced in or originate from the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus; the contracting authority may request certificates of origin for this purpose.
