SU19(26) Digital Marketing and Advertising in China

This tender for digital marketing services in China is critically incomplete, lacking essential documentation, explicit legal requirements, and evaluation criteria, which severely undermines transparency and fair competition.

The tender explicitly states the absence of mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements, which are fundamental legal prerequisites for an open public procurement procedure. The complete lack of evaluation criteria also makes it impossible to assess compliance with procurement principles.

While the general service description is clear, the complete absence of tender documents and detailed specifications makes it impossible for potential bidders to understand the full scope, specific expectations, and how their offers will be assessed. Technical capabilities are listed but lack detail on demonstration methods or required experience levels.

The tender is severely incomplete. There are no tender documents, no explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, no explicit eligibility requirements, no detailed financial requirements, and, most critically, no evaluation criteria. This prevents bidders from preparing comprehensive and compliant offers.

The absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and evaluation criteria creates a highly unfair and non-transparent procurement process. This grants the contracting authority excessive discretion, making it difficult for bidders to understand the rules and for the process to be objectively challenged, raising concerns about potential for arbitrary decision-making.

From a bidder's perspective, it is highly impractical to prepare a meaningful and competitive bid without any tender documents, detailed requirements, or evaluation criteria. For the contracting authority, evaluating bids based on such limited information would be extremely challenging and prone to disputes.

The provided basic information (title, reference, organization, value, duration, description) is internally consistent. However, the primary concern is the critical lack of detailed data and documentation, rather than inconsistencies within the existing data.

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement or social criteria, as indicated by the automated check. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability considerations into the procurement process.
