Compliance requirements
The bidder must declare whether it or its representatives have relevant convictions, including for participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. Convictions within the last five years are covered where specified, as are any continuing exclusion periods. The grounds also cover unpaid taxes or social security contributions; breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or comparable circumstances; serious professional misconduct; agreements restricting competition; conflicts of interest or involvement in preparing the procurement; serious failures under previous contracts; false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, or attempts to obtain confidential information improperly. National grounds include enabling unlawful employment of foreign nationals, being subject to international sanctions, and convictions for tax offences. Where a ground applies, the bidder may be asked to describe remedial measures restoring its reliability, where permitted.
