The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its management, representative or supervisory persons have been finally convicted within the last five years of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or the use of child labour or other forms of human trafficking. Compliance with tax and social security payment obligations is also checked; the stated threshold for tax debt is EUR 0, although special rules may apply where a debt is deferred or is below EUR 100. The exclusion grounds also cover bankruptcy, liquidation or insolvency proceedings, an agreement with creditors, suspended business activity, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, conflicts of interest, serious breaches of previous procurement contracts, false statements or failure to provide required documents, and improper attempts to influence the contracting authority’s decision-making. Compliance with environmental, social and labour law obligations is checked, as well as offences involving employment of unlawfully residing foreign nationals, international sanctions, tax offences and local tax debt owed in the contracting authority’s location. Where an exclusion ground applies, evidence of measures restoring the bidder’s reliability may be submitted with the tender in an open procedure where this possibility is applicable.
