b. They must not be in breach of their obligations relating to the payment of taxes or social security contributions as at the closing date for the submission of Tenders, where these have been established by a judicial or administrative decision having final and binding effect in accordance with the legal provisions of the Republic of Cyprus or with those of the country where they are established.

It is noted that the Contracting Entity can exclude an Economic Operator from participation in the procurement procedure where it can demonstrate by any appropriate means that the Economic Operator is in breach of its obligations relating to the payment of taxes or social security contributions.

d. They must not be guilty of grave professional misconduct which renders their integrity questionable, as this can be demonstrated by the Contracting Entity by appropriate means.

e. They must not have entered into agreements with other Economic Operators aimed at distorting competition, where the Contracting Entity has reasonably plausible indications to conclude so.

f. They must not have a conflict of interest that cannot be effectively remedied without excluding them from participation in the tender procedure.

g. They must not have distorted the competition from the prior involvement in the preparation of the procurement procedure, unless this can be effectively remedied without excluding them from participation in the tender procedure.

h. They must not have shown significant or persistent deficiencies in the performance of a substantive requirement under a prior public contract, a prior contract with a Contracting entity or a prior concession contract which led to early termination of that prior contract, damages or other comparable sanctions.

i. They must not be guilty of serious misrepresentation in supplying the information required for the verification of the absence of grounds for exclusion or the fulfilment of the selection criteria, must not have withheld such information or are not able to submit the supporting documents required.
