Six (6) Haptic Arms (4 non-portable and 2 portable) and related accessories, consumables, service and maintenance

This tender for Haptic Arms for the University of Dundee provides a clear description of the required goods and services but is significantly hampered by a lack of transparency regarding the estimated value and, critically, the complete absence of evaluation criteria.

The tender defines an open procedure, uses an appropriate CPV code, and has a reasonable submission period. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria and the classified estimated value represent significant transparency issues that could challenge compliance with public procurement principles.

The description of the Haptic Arms, their purpose, and location is clear. The AI-extracted requirements are also understandable. Nevertheless, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely impacts the clarity of the bidding and assessment process for potential suppliers.

While basic information, deadlines, and duration are provided, the tender is incomplete due to the undisclosed estimated value, the absence of evaluation criteria, and the fact that full tender documents are not directly provided, requiring external access.

The classified estimated value and, critically, the complete lack of evaluation criteria severely undermine the fairness and transparency of this procurement. Bidders cannot adequately prepare proposals or understand the basis of award, despite the use of an open procedure and e-procurement.

The tender supports electronic submission and clearly states the contract duration. However, the absence of a specific contract start date and the undisclosed financing information (estimated value) reduce its practicality for bidders planning their resources.

The core data fields are largely consistent and logical, with no disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for the liable person and procedure codes, and the classified value.

The tender does not include any explicit requirements or considerations related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, representing a missed opportunity to integrate modern sustainability standards.
