Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the standard exclusion grounds: no convictions for organised crime, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing; no illegal employment-related offences; no child labour or human trafficking offences; no tax, social security or environmental charge arrears; and no conflict with international or Government sanctions. The notice also allows exclusion for serious breaches of labour, social or environmental obligations, bankruptcy or liquidation, serious professional misconduct, competition-law infringements, conflicts of interest, false information, and other grounds listed in the procurement rules. The bidder must submit a prescribed confirmation that the exclusion grounds do not apply, and if it relies on another company’s resources, the same confirmation must also be provided for that entity.
