Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor its management, administrative or supervisory body members, procurators or other authorised representatives have been convicted within the last five years for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and the other exclusion grounds listed in the ESPD.
