That's more about application process; but we are told to remove application instructions. However disciplinary policy is substantive about eligibility. Might keep as part of Qualifications or Requirements. Since it's not boilerplate, we can include.
But we must not include application instructions like link, contact, form submission details? The instruction to submit bidding form is part of process; maybe we keep as part of Qualifications? It's borderline. The instruction says "Apply by February 12, 2021 at: link" and contact info - those are application instructions, we must remove. The bidding form requirement is also an instruction but maybe considered eligibility? The policy about disciplinary actions is eligibility. The bidding form submission is a procedural requirement; could be considered application instruction. Safer to omit that detail? The instruction says remove application instructions. The bidding form is part of application. So we should omit that. Keep disciplinary policy? It's eligibility criteria, not exactly instruction to apply. Might keep.
Thus Qualifications: include disciplinary policy statements.
