TEN-2526-037 (PA2023) Retirement Consultancy Framework

This tender provides a clear description of the services required but suffers from significant gaps in critical information such as evaluation criteria and detailed eligibility requirements, impacting fairness and legal compliance.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and the missing reveal date are significant legal compliance issues, impacting transparency and equal treatment. The 24-day window for submission from today's date is generally reasonable for an open procedure, but the full advertising period cannot be confirmed.

The description of the framework agreement and its four lots is clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria and the need to refer to full tender documents for basic requirements (mandatory exclusion, eligibility, financial) significantly reduce the overall clarity of the provided overview.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV/NUTS codes are complete. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing reveal date and, more critically, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and detailed mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements in the summary.

The estimated value is disclosed, and technical requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot understand the basis of award. Additionally, the absence of electronic submission capabilities creates an unnecessary barrier to equal access.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially complicating the bidding process for suppliers.

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, deadlines, and duration are populated and consistent. There are no disputes or suspensions. Minor data gaps include an empty 'Liable Person' field, missing 'Type/Procedure Code', and the absence of a reveal date.

The tender shows a complete absence of sustainability considerations, with no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
