The bidder must confirm that none of those grounds apply and, if necessary, provide the relevant evidence before the contract is signed. A direct or indirect link to the preparation of the procurement, a conflict of interest, insolvency, or a serious breach of previous public contracts may also be grounds for exclusion. The bidder must also confirm that no restriction applies to its right to submit a tender based on the bidder’s country of establishment or residence, if the contracting authority has imposed such a restriction.
