Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither it nor its management, supervisory or representative persons are subject to exclusion grounds. These include final convictions within the relevant five-year period for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, and the use of child labour or other forms of trafficking. The bidder must also have no tax or social security contribution arrears, unless the obligations have been paid or a binding payment arrangement has been concluded. Other grounds include breaches of environmental, social or labour law, bankruptcy, liquidation or other insolvency proceedings, agreements with creditors, assets managed by a liquidator or court, suspended business activity, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, conflicts of interest, involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an advantage, serious or repeated breaches of previous public contracts, submission of false or missing information, failure to provide requested documents, improper attempts to influence the contracting authority, unlawful employment of foreign nationals, international sanctions, and relevant tax offences. The bidder must provide the required declarations and, where applicable, evidence and information about any remedial measures taken to restore reliability. The contracting authority may also check exclusion grounds and qualification compliance for subcontractors on whose capacity the bidder relies.
