The exclusion grounds include the usual mandatory criminal conviction grounds, at least participation in a criminal organisation, corruption and fraud. For these grounds, the bidder or its management/representation persons must answer the self-declaration questions and, where relevant, may provide evidence of self-cleaning. The notice also includes sanctions-related confirmations: the bidder must confirm that it does not use subcontractors or suppliers exceeding 10% of the contract value who are Russian citizens, residents or entities established in the Russian Federation, or owned or controlled by them, and that the offered goods are not subject to international sanctions and do not originate from sanctioned areas. If the machine-readable notice does not contain the full list of exclusion grounds, the exact grounds must be checked in the tender documents.

The bidder must also be registered in the business register. Financially, the bidder’s 2024 turnover must be at least EUR 250,000. In addition, the bidder must have all necessary technical means for handling, storing and transporting food for this procurement, and must provide a free-form description of those means and their use. The machine-readable notice does not give more precise qualification details beyond these requirements; any further requirements must be checked in the tender documents.
