The bidder must declare whether it or its representatives have relevant final convictions within the past five years, including for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and the use of child labour or other forms of human trafficking. The declaration also covers unpaid taxes or social security contributions; violations of environmental, social or labour obligations; insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, creditor arrangements, administration of assets by a liquidator or court, or suspension of business; serious professional misconduct; competition-distorting agreements; unresolved conflicts of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement where this creates an unremedied competitive advantage; serious or repeated failures under previous contracts; false or misleading information, withholding information, failure to provide requested documents, or improper attempts to influence the procurement or obtain confidential information. National grounds also cover enabling a foreign national to work unlawfully, international sanctions, tax-related offences and restrictions based on the bidder’s place of establishment. Where permitted, the bidder may describe remedial measures taken to restore its reliability. During the procurement and contract performance, the contracting authority checks first-tier subcontractors named in the successful bid and those added later for the statutory mandatory exclusion grounds. Second- and subsequent-tier subcontractors are not checked under this condition.

The bidder must be entered in the business register of an EU or EEA country, or a country that is a member (not an observer) of the WTO Government Procurement Agreement.
