Compliance requirements
The bidder must declare whether it or its representatives have relevant convictions, including for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering, human trafficking or unlawful child labour. Other grounds include unpaid taxes or social security contributions; breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or suspended business activity; serious professional misconduct; agreements that distort competition; an unmanageable conflict of interest; involvement in preparing this procurement where that creates an unavoidable advantage; serious failures under previous contracts; false or withheld information, failure to provide requested documents, or attempts to obtain confidential information improperly. National grounds also cover enabling the unlawful employment of foreign nationals, being subject to international sanctions, and convictions for tax offences. The bidder must provide the required declarations and, where applicable, information or evidence concerning the circumstances and any measures taken to restore its reliability.
