Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that none of the exclusion grounds apply to the company, its management or supervisory bodies, authorised representatives or other persons able to represent or control it. The grounds include final convictions within the relevant period for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and illegal employment of foreign nationals or other human-trafficking-related offences. The bidder must also have no outstanding tax or social security payment obligations, unless the obligations have been paid or a binding repayment arrangement has been made. Further grounds include creditor arrangements, bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, suspended business activity, serious professional misconduct, competition-distorting agreements, conflicts of interest, involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an unavoidable advantage, serious or repeated breaches of earlier public contracts, and false or missing information or failure to provide requested documents. The bidder must not be subject to an international sanction that would make conclusion of the contract unlawful and must not have been convicted of tax offences where the applicable national exclusion ground applies. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of remedial measures demonstrating restored reliability.
