UKRI-5574 Frequency Comb

This tender for a frequency comb system demonstrates good basic information and transparency through OCDS data, but suffers from significant deficiencies in clarity, completeness, and fairness due to missing evaluation criteria and detailed requirements.

The procedure type and CPV codes are clearly defined, and there are no reported disputes. However, the absence of a clear reveal date and the explicit statement that 'No specific mandatory exclusion grounds are provided' in the AI summary represent significant gaps in legal disclosure and compliance.

While the core requirement for a frequency comb system is stated, the tender severely lacks clarity regarding evaluation criteria, detailed technical specifications, and explicit eligibility or financial requirements. This makes it difficult for bidders to formulate a comprehensive and competitive proposal.

Basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are present. However, the tender is significantly incomplete due to the absence of explicit evaluation criteria, detailed eligibility, and financial requirements. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender provides document access and discloses the estimated value. However, the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major impediment to fairness, as it introduces significant subjectivity into the assessment process. This raises concerns about equal treatment and transparency for all bidders.

The tender supports electronic submission via the Atamis platform, and key practical details such as contract start date, duration, and estimated value are clearly provided. Documents are available, although a direct URL is not explicitly stated.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, there is an inconsistency in the estimated value's currency (EUR in basic info, GBP in document summaries), and the 'Liable Person' field is empty.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social, or innovation-focused criteria. While the subject matter (quantum computing) is inherently innovative, the tender itself does not leverage this to promote broader sustainability goals.
