Compliance requirements
The bidder must not be subject to exclusion grounds, including a final conviction within the last five years, or an ongoing exclusion obligation, for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, or illegal employment of children or human trafficking-related offences. Compliance with tax and social security payment obligations is also checked, as are breaches concerning the employment of unlawfully residing foreign nationals and whether the offered goods are subject to international sanctions or originate from sanctioned regions. Where legally permitted or provided for in the tender documents, the bidder may submit evidence of remedial measures demonstrating restored reliability.
