Compliance requirements
The exclusion grounds mainly cover participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences or offences related to terrorist activity, money laundering or terrorist financing, and the use of child labour and other forms of human trafficking. The bidder or the members of its management, governing or supervisory body, procurators and other persons authorised to represent it must answer yes/no questions on these grounds and, where required, provide the date of conviction, the reason, the convicted person, the duration of exclusion and a description of any self-cleaning measures. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may submit evidence of remedial measures where this is allowed in the procurement. The exact exclusion grounds and required answers must be checked in the tender documents.
