Compliance requirements
Mandatory exclusion grounds: the bidder and its management, supervisory or representative persons must not have been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, enabling illegal employment of a foreign national, or offences related to child labour or human trafficking. The bidder must also not have tax, duty or environmental charge arrears, or tax or social security contribution arrears under the law of its country of establishment. Voluntary exclusion grounds: the contracting authority may exclude a bidder that has previously materially or repeatedly breached essential contract terms, or that has provided false information about qualification or failed to submit required data and documents. The bidder must confirm that none of these grounds apply.
