Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its representatives, management or supervisory persons have been finally convicted within the last five years 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 check also covers other authorised persons who are not visible in the commercial register; their names and personal identification codes must be provided, or the bidder must confirm that no such persons exist. Exclusion may also apply because of tax or social-security payment arrears, a serious or repeated breach of a previous public contract resulting in early termination, damages or another sanction, enabling an unlawfully present foreign national to work, involvement with international sanctions, or breach of a restriction on participation imposed by the contracting authority. Where relevant, the bidder must provide explanations and evidence concerning the exclusion ground and may describe measures taken to restore its reliability where this is permitted.
