Supply of Reusable Surgical Instruments

This tender demonstrates good clarity and structured requirements but is significantly hampered by undisclosed estimated value and restricted document access, impacting legal compliance, fairness, and practicality.

The tender defines an open procedure and appropriate CPV codes, with a reasonable submission deadline. However, the non-disclosure of the estimated value for a tender explicitly stated as 'above the EU threshold' and subject to 'WTO/GPA' rules is a significant transparency and potential legal compliance issue. 'Restricted document access' also raises fundamental concerns regarding legal compliance.

The tender description is clear, and requirements are well-documented, referencing specific tender documents for details. The award criterion, 'lowest price', is clearly stated, and performance conditions are linked to the technical specification and draft contract. AI-extracted requirements are comprehensive and structured.

Most essential information, including title, reference, organization, deadlines, duration, and location, is provided. Requirements and criteria are defined through referenced documents. The primary deficiency is the non-disclosure of the estimated value, which is a critical piece of information for a complete tender.

While the submission deadline is reasonable and 'lowest price' is an objective award criterion, the 'Estimated Value: Not disclosed' and 'Restricted document access' significantly undermine fairness. Bidders cannot adequately assess the opportunity or easily obtain all necessary information to prepare a competitive offer. E-procurement is indicated, which generally promotes equal access.

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract duration is clearly specified. However, the undisclosed estimated value makes it challenging for bidders to assess the commercial viability and allocate resources effectively. The absence of a specific contract start date adds minor uncertainty, and potential hurdles in accessing full documents reduce practicality.

Dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Most key fields are populated. The main inconsistency lies in the non-disclosure of the estimated value for a tender explicitly identified as 'above the EU threshold' and subject to 'WTO/GPA' rules, which typically mandate such transparency.

The tender documents and summaries provide no indication of any green procurement criteria, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not specified as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
