The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its representatives, management, supervisory bodies or persons authorised to control it are subject to exclusion grounds. These include final convictions within the last five years, or an outstanding exclusion period, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or the unlawful employment of foreign nationals and related wage violations. The bidder must not have unpaid taxes or social security contributions. The exclusion grounds also cover agreements with creditors, bankruptcy, liquidation or comparable insolvency proceedings, suspended business activities, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, conflicts of interest, involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an advantage, serious or repeated breaches of earlier public contracts resulting in early termination or sanctions, and the submission of false or misleading information or failure to provide required information or documents. Additional national grounds include being a sanctioned person or entity, having been convicted of tax offences, or being subject to a restriction on participation based on the bidder's country of establishment or residence. The bidder must provide the required confirmations and, where relevant, information and evidence concerning the ground. Where permitted, it may describe measures taken to restore its reliability. The bidder must also confirm that it will not use prohibited Russian-linked subcontractors or suppliers for more than 10% of the contract value and that the supplied goods are not subject to international sanctions.
