Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm the mandatory exclusion grounds in the tender documents, including participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud and the other listed grounds. If an exclusion ground applies, the bidder may provide evidence of self-cleaning measures where allowed by the procurement documents or law. The machine-readable notice did not include the full list of exclusion grounds in a concise form; the exact grounds and any required confirmations must be checked in the tender documents.
