Compliance requirements
The bidder must confirm that neither the company nor its relevant representatives is subject to exclusion grounds such as final convictions for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. The bidder must not have outstanding tax or social security payment obligations, unless the obligations have been settled or covered by a binding payment arrangement. Other grounds include breaches of environmental, social or labour law, bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, an analogous financial situation, assets administered by a liquidator or court, suspended business activity, serious professional misconduct, anti-competitive agreements, an unresolvable conflict of interest, improper involvement in preparing the procurement, serious or repeated breaches of earlier public contracts, submission of false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, and attempts to obtain confidential information or improperly influence the contracting authority. The bidder must also confirm compliance with national exclusion grounds concerning unlawful employment of foreign nationals, international sanctions and convictions for tax offences. Where an exclusion ground may apply, the bidder may provide information about measures taken to restore its reliability when this is permitted by the applicable rules.
