Before signing the contract, the contracting authority will verify the absence of the grounds referred to in Section 95(1) on the basis of evidence.
The bidder must also confirm that it will not use subcontractors or suppliers for more than 10% of the contract value if they are citizens or residents of the Russian Federation, or undertakings established in the Russian Federation, or if they are more than 50% directly or indirectly owned by such persons or entities, or act on their instructions.
