Part 13: General Schedule 6: Mandatory exclusion grounds Part 1 - Offences Offences committed outside the United Kingdom
Paragraph 34 sets out that equivalent overseas convictions constitute mandatory grounds for exclusion if this would have resulted in conviction in the UK under one of the offences listed in Part 1 of Schedule 6. For example, if a foreign jurisdiction had a broader definition of the offence of fraud than the UK offence as set out in the Fraud Act 2006, then a supplier with a fraud conviction in that jurisdiction will only be subject to the mandatory exclusion ground if the supplier’s behaviour meets the UK definition of fraud (and therefore the supplier would have been convicted had the conduct in question occurred in the UK).
