Compliance requirements
The bidder is excluded from the procedure if the bidder or its representative has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, a terrorism-related offence, money laundering or financing of terrorism. The bidder is also excluded if the bidder or its representative has violated rules on the employment of foreigners or the payment of wages below the statutory minimum, has unlawfully used child labour, or has been involved in human trafficking. Exclusion also applies where the bidder has tax, fee or environmental charge arrears, or social security contribution arrears in its country of establishment, or where awarding the contract would breach an international sanction or a sanction of the Government of the Republic. The bidder must confirm that none of these exclusion grounds apply.
