Compliance requirements
Mandatory exclusion grounds: the bidder is excluded if it or its management, supervisory or representative persons have been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, a terrorist offence, money laundering, financing of terrorism, unlawful use of child labour, or trafficking in human beings. Exclusion also applies if the bidder has tax, duty or environmental charge arrears, or social security contribution arrears under the law of the country of establishment.
Voluntary exclusion grounds: the bidder may be excluded if it has seriously or repeatedly breached an essential term of a previous public contract, resulting in withdrawal from the contract, termination, price reduction, compensation of damages or payment of a contractual penalty. Exclusion may also apply if the bidder has provided false information about compliance with qualification requirements or has failed to submit requested additional documents.
The bidder must confirm that its place of residence or establishment is not in Russia or Belarus, and that the materials, equipment and goods used in the works, including components, are not produced in or originating from Russia or Belarus. Certificates of origin may be requested.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
