Bidders are advised that the Present Special Technical Specification contains anti-social dumping clauses (with significant special penalties) developed within the framework of the Strategic Development Committee of the Charleroi and South Hainaut Region. They are highlighted in grey in the S.T.S. Consequently, bidders are strongly encouraged: - to take them into account in the preparation of their offer, the Contracting Authority reserving the right to verify the compliance of the site with these and to sanction in case of infringement; - to complete and attach to the offer the Declaration of Honour relating to the anti-social dumping clauses reproduced in the annex to the present Special Technical Specification. The absence of a declaration attached to the offer or an attached but incomplete declaration will be considered as revealing the intention not to comply with the clauses against social dumping and, consequently, will be considered as a substantial irregularity.
