Compliance requirements
The bidder must be excluded if the bidder, its representative, a management body member or a procurator has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, a terror-related offence, money laundering or terrorist financing. Exclusion also applies if there has been a conviction for enabling illegal employment of a foreign national or illegal use of child labour. A bidder is also excluded if it has tax, fee or environmental charge arrears, or if a contract with it 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.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
