The bidder must declare whether it or its relevant representatives have, within the past five years or while an exclusion period remains in force, been convicted of participation in a criminal organisation, corruption, fraud, terrorist offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. Other grounds include tax or social security contribution arrears; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, creditor arrangements, court-administered assets or suspended business activity; serious professional misconduct; competition-distorting agreements; unmanageable conflicts of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement where this creates an unavoidable competitive advantage; and early termination, damages or comparable sanctions for serious or repeated breaches of previous contracts. Grounds also cover breaches of environmental, social or labour obligations, false or misleading information, failure to provide required information or documents, and attempts to obtain confidential information or improperly influence the procurement. National grounds include enabling a person without lawful status to work, being subject to an international or national sanction that would make the contract unlawful, and tax-related offences. The bidder must also address any relevant tax or social contribution default; the notice states a threshold of EUR 0 and notes that a tax-debt certificate is not issued for a debt below EUR 100 or where payment has been deferred. Where the applicable rules permit, the bidder may provide evidence of measures taken to restore its reliability.
