Original Tender Description

RM6391 Mobile Voice and Data Services 2 (MVDS2) is the proposed replacement for the RM6261 Mobile Voice and Data Services agreement (MVDS) which expires in December 2026. MVDS2 seeks to build upon the success of MVDS by maintaining the existing competitive airtime offering through a rationalised lot structure, focussing on making optional services such as devices, mobile device management etcetera easier to procure on a standalone basis.

The lots will be as follows: Lot 1 - Mobile Catalogue and Optional Services Lot 2 - Mobile Solutions Lot 3 - Telecommunications Audit and Advisory Services MVDS2 will create a compliant framework that leverages the benefits of the new Procurement Regulations, the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) adopting new mechanisms for Award with and without Competition.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for Mobile Voice and Data Services 2 is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a defined scope. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender follows an open procedure and references the new Procurement Act 2023, indicating a commitment to regulatory compliance. The CPV code is appropriate. While deadlines are present, the submission deadline might be perceived as tight given the complexity of the tender. No disputes are reported.

Clarity80/100

The description of the tender's purpose, its relation to the previous agreement, and the lot structure is clear. The AI-extracted requirements provide a good overview of what is expected from bidders. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria hinders full clarity on how bids will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date. The description is detailed. However, the lack of content for the tender documents is a significant gap, and specific financial requirements are not detailed.

No document content available
[No specific financial requirements detailed in the provided text]
Fairness85/100

The tender is open to a defined set of eligible bidders (MNOs, MVNOs, re-sellers), which is reasonable for this type of service. The value is disclosed, and the procedure is open. The AI-extracted requirements are objective. The primary concern is the lack of explicit evaluation criteria, which could lead to perceived subjectivity.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the AI-extracted requirements mention submission in multiple languages but do not explicitly state e-submission is mandatory or provide a URL for submission, which is a drawback. Financing information is not detailed.

No e-submission
Missing document URL
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. The dates provided are logical and consistent with the tender's lifecycle.
