Compliance requirements
The tender documents set out the standard exclusion grounds, including criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and other mandatory exclusion cases. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may, where allowed, submit evidence of self-cleaning. The bidder must also confirm that neither the bidder nor, where relevant, the person whose capacity is relied on, has its place of residence or establishment in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus.
