Compliance requirements
The tender documents include the standard exclusion grounds. The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor its management, supervisory or representative persons have been finally convicted in the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or other forms of human trafficking, fraud, or terrorist offences, and that any exclusion period has expired. If an exclusion ground exists, the bidder may, where allowed, provide evidence of self-cleaning and restored reliability. The machine-readable notice did not include all precise exclusion details; they must be checked in the official tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
