False or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, and attempts to obtain confidential information or improperly influence the contracting authority may also lead to exclusion. The bidder must also comply with environmental, social and labour-law obligations, restrictions concerning unlawful employment of foreign nationals, international sanctions and any applicable participation restrictions based on the bidder’s place of establishment. Where permitted, evidence of remedial measures may be submitted to demonstrate reliability.
