Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that it, its management or supervisory body members, and persons authorised to represent it are not subject to convictions or breaches giving rise to exclusion. These include 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 trafficking in human beings. The bidder must also not have outstanding taxes or social security contributions or serious breaches of environmental, social or labour law.
The exclusion grounds also cover bankruptcy, liquidation or another insolvency situation, an arrangement with creditors, suspended business activities, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, conflicts of interest, improper involvement in preparing the procurement, serious breaches of previous public contracts, and the submission of false information or failure to provide required documents. National grounds must also be checked, including enabling an illegally staying foreign national to work, applicability of international sanctions, and convictions for tax offences. Where an exclusion ground applies, evidence of remedial measures restoring reliability may be submitted where permitted.
The bidder must separately confirm that it will not involve subcontractors or suppliers accounting for more than 10% of the contract value if they are Russian citizens, residents or entities established in the Russian Federation, entities directly or indirectly more than 50% owned by them, or persons representing or acting under their instructions.
