The bidder must confirm that neither it nor members of its administrative, management or supervisory bodies or representatives have, during the last five years, been finally convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or the use of child labour or other forms of human trafficking. The exclusion grounds also cover tax or social security contribution arrears, bankruptcy or insolvency and liquidation proceedings, assets administered by a liquidator or court, suspended business activities, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, conflicts of interest, serious previous contract breaches, and the submission of false information or failure to provide required documents. Compliance with environmental, social and labour-law obligations is also checked, as are breaches involving the employment of unlawfully staying foreign nationals, international sanctions and tax offences. For tax and social security payments, the stated threshold is EUR 0; the tax authority does not issue a tax debt certificate where the debt is below EUR 100 or has been deferred. Where applicable, the bidder may need to describe remedial measures taken to restore its reliability and provide supporting evidence.
