Compliance requirements
A bidder may be excluded if it or a person with relevant management, supervisory or representative powers has a final conviction for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. The grounds also include unpaid taxes or social security contributions; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar situations; suspension of business; serious professional misconduct; competition-distorting agreements; an unresolved conflict of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement that creates an unremedied competitive advantage; and serious or repeated breaches of earlier contracts resulting in early termination, damages or comparable sanctions. Exclusion may also result from false or misleading information, withholding required information or documents, improper attempts to influence the procurement, or breaches of environmental, social or labour-law obligations. National grounds include enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national, being subject to an applicable international sanction, tax offences, a local-tax debt where applicable, or lacking the right to participate because of the bidder’s place of establishment. The bidder must confirm that it will not use, for more than 10% of the contract value, subcontractors or suppliers who are Russian nationals, residents or established in Russia; are more than 50% owned, directly or indirectly, by such persons or entities; or act on their behalf or under their instructions. A bid may be rejected if the resulting contract would breach applicable international sanctions. Where permitted, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.
