Participation requirements

Tender requirements are available in the official tender documents.

Compliance requirements

The tender documents include standard exclusion grounds based on final convictions, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and other mandatory grounds. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of self-cleaning where allowed. The machine-readable notice does not provide a complete list here, so the official tender documents must be checked for all exclusion grounds and any recovery/self-cleaning rules.
