Upgrade and Maintenance of Roller Shutter Doors - Edinburgh and Oban

This tender provides basic information and a clear scope of work but critically lacks detailed tender documents and explicit evaluation criteria, which significantly hinders transparency and fair competition. The absence of supporting documentation makes it challenging for bidders to formulate accurate and comprehensive proposals.

While basic information is present, the complete absence of tender documents, detailed specifications, and explicit evaluation criteria raises significant concerns regarding transparency, equal treatment, and adherence to fundamental public procurement principles, even for a below-threshold procedure.

The general description of services required (upgrades and 4-year maintenance for 16 roller shutter doors at two locations) is clear at a high level. However, without any attached documents, detailed specifications, technical requirements, or performance standards, the clarity for potential bidders to formulate a precise and competitive offer is severely compromised.

The tender is fundamentally incomplete due to the complete absence of any attached documents. This means critical information such as detailed specifications, terms and conditions, contract drafts, submission forms, and explicit evaluation criteria are missing, making it impossible for bidders to prepare a comprehensive response.

The absence of explicit evaluation criteria and detailed tender documents creates a significant risk of subjective assessment and unequal treatment among bidders. Without clear rules for evaluation, the procurement process lacks transparency, potentially disadvantaging suppliers who are not privy to unstated preferences or requirements.

The scope of work (upgrades and 4-year maintenance for 16 doors across two locations) appears practical for a specialized supplier. However, the lack of detailed information in the tender documents makes it impractical for bidders to accurately scope the work, estimate costs, and prepare a robust proposal, potentially leading to inflated bids or scope misunderstandings.

The provided basic information appears consistent. The estimated value is clearly stated in both EUR and GBP equivalent, and the contract duration aligns with the maintenance period.

The tender does not include any explicit green, social, or innovation-focused procurement criteria. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability objectives into the procurement process.
