The bidder must declare whether it or its representatives have relevant convictions, including for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking, and certain tax offences.

Certain grounds concern breaches of environmental, social or labour-law obligations. The bidder must also confirm that contract award would not breach international or national sanctions and that it has not committed the specified offences involving unlawful employment of foreign nationals. Where a relevant ground applies, the bidder may describe measures taken to restore its reliability if the applicable rules allow this.
