Compliance requirements
The contracting authority will exclude a bidder if the exclusion grounds under Section 95(1) of the Public Procurement Act apply to the bidder or to any entity whose resources the bidder relies on for proving qualification. The bidder must confirm that these exclusion grounds do not apply. If the answer is no, the bidder must describe which exclusion grounds apply.
Participation is not allowed for economic operators whose place of residence or registered office is in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus. This also applies to any entity whose qualification the bidder relies on under Section 103(1). The bidder must confirm that neither the bidder nor such an entity is established in Russia or Belarus.
Qualification criteria and exclusion grounds
