These parties should complete the exclusion criteria section of the SPD and whichever selection questions, the main economic operator is relying on them for. This must include evidence and completion of any requested documents against each section. If the economic operator is using a sub-contractor but not relying on them to meet the selection criteria, each sub-contractor should complete an SPD response. In this instance, they will only need to complete the exclusion criteria. The responses will be evaluated alongside the main economic operator SPD response. Where a party fails on exclusion criteria, the main economic operator must replace them. By sub-contracting, the main economic operator assumes full responsibility for any work conducted by the subcontractor as part of this contract and must ensure that the said sub-contractor(s) adhere to all contractual requirements within the Tender documentation.
