Supply of Bacterial Gene Detection and Sequencing

This tender provides essential information and includes social value considerations, but suffers from a significant lack of detailed evaluation criteria and the absence of electronic submission, which could hinder fair competition and efficiency.

Overall compliance is good, but the absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements in the provided summaries is a notable concern. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty, and the CPV code could be more precise for a service-oriented tender.

While the overall description is clear, the critical lack of detailed evaluation criteria, including specific sub-criteria and their weightings, significantly impacts clarity. Performance conditions are also not detailed in the summaries.

Basic information such as title, organization, value, and duration is present. However, the tender is incomplete without comprehensive details on evaluation criteria, specific eligibility/exclusion criteria, and more granular technical/financial requirements beyond high-level statements.

The absence of detailed, objective, and transparent evaluation criteria significantly compromises fairness, as bidders cannot adequately prepare. Furthermore, the lack of electronic submission creates an unnecessary barrier to equal access and efficiency.

The primary practical drawback is the explicit statement of 'No e-submission' in the automated checks. This hinders efficiency for both bidders and the contracting authority, as electronic submission is a standard expectation in modern procurement.

There is a minor inconsistency in the estimated value, stated as 240,000.00 EUR in basic information and £200,000 in document summaries. While roughly equivalent, this should be consistent. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The inclusion of 'social value' as an evaluation criterion is a positive aspect. However, the tender explicitly lacks a focus on green procurement or innovation, limiting its overall sustainability score.
