Youth Services Contract

This is a well-structured preliminary market engagement for Youth Services, demonstrating good transparency and clarity in its planning phase, though lacking explicit sustainability criteria in the procurement process.

The tender, being a preliminary market engagement in the planning phase, appropriately defines its scope and purpose. Deadlines are reasonable for feedback, and CPV codes are correctly assigned. The 'None' for procedure type is acceptable given its current status.

The description and AI-extracted requirements are exceptionally clear, unambiguously stating the purpose as preliminary market engagement for Youth Services across three lots. The expectations for participant feedback are well-defined.

All essential information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and location are provided. Requirements for market engagement are clearly outlined. The absence of a formal procedure type and detailed evaluation criteria is expected for a preliminary stage.

The engagement promotes fairness by disclosing the value, providing full document access, and encouraging local SME participation. Requirements are generic and not tailored, ensuring broad participation in the feedback process.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and financing information is available. However, the lack of explicit electronic submission support for market engagement responses could be a minor practical hurdle for some potential providers.

Key fields are consistently populated, and dates are logical. The estimated value is provided in EUR and lot values in GBP, which are consistent assuming standard conversion. There are no reported disputes or suspensions.

While the Youth Services contract inherently addresses social needs, the preliminary market engagement documentation does not explicitly incorporate broader green procurement, social clauses, or innovation-focused criteria within the procurement process itself.
