Compliance requirements
The tender documents include the standard exclusion grounds, especially convictions for participation in a criminal organisation and corruption. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may provide evidence of self-cleaning, where allowed by the procurement rules or the tender documents. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds; they must be checked in the official tender documents.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds

For service delivery, the bidder must involve a specialist who meets the requirements of Section 41 of the Fire Safety Act and holds either a Fire Safety Specialist, Level 5, or Fire Safety Expert, Level 6 certificate.
