Compliance requirements
A bidder may be excluded for relevant final convictions of the bidder or its representatives for corruption, fraud, participation in a criminal organisation, terrorism-related offences, money laundering or terrorist financing, child labour or human trafficking. Exclusion grounds also include breaches of tax or social security payment obligations; environmental, social or labour-law violations; bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or comparable circumstances; serious professional misconduct; agreements or conduct that distort competition; an unresolved conflict of interest; involvement in preparing the procurement where an unfair advantage cannot otherwise be prevented; serious or repeated failures under previous public contracts; false or misleading information, withholding required information, failure to provide requested supporting documents, or seeking confidential information to gain an improper advantage. National grounds include enabling the unlawful employment of a foreign national, being subject to an international sanction, tax-related criminal offences, and being ineligible to participate under a restriction based on the bidder’s place of establishment. Corrective measures to demonstrate reliability may be considered where permitted by law. Tax and social security debts below EUR 100, excluding interest not established by an administrative act, are not treated as debts for the stated threshold if payment has been deferred; the applicable rules of the bidder’s country of establishment apply to foreign bidders.
