Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the standard exclusion grounds, including no final convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or other forms of human trafficking, and terrorist offences within the last five years, unless the exclusion period has expired. The notice also refers to self-cleaning: if an exclusion ground exists, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore reliability, where allowed by the procurement rules or tender documents. For first-tier subcontractors, the documents also include exclusion checks during contract performance.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
