Compliance requirements
A bidder will be excluded if the bidder or a person with management, supervisory or representation powers has been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, terrorist financing, enabling unlawful employment of foreign nationals, breaches of remuneration requirements, unlawful child labour or human trafficking offences. Exclusion also applies in the event of outstanding state tax, payment or environmental charge debts, or tax and social security payment debts under the law of the bidder’s country of establishment.
The contracting authority may also exclude a bidder for a serious or repeated breach of a previous procurement contract where this resulted, for example, in withdrawal from or termination of the contract, a price reduction, compensation for damage or a contractual penalty. Exclusion may likewise follow from submitting false information about compliance with the qualification requirements or failing to submit required information or documents.
The bidder must confirm that none of the mandatory or discretionary exclusion grounds applies. Participation is not permitted for an undertaking whose place of residence or establishment is in the Russian Federation or the Republic of Belarus.
