Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) Litter Survey

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in documentation and process transparency, despite a clear project description. Key information for bidders is missing, impacting legal compliance, fairness, and practicality.

The tender's 'planning' status with an active submission deadline is a critical inconsistency. Fundamental details such as the procedure type, liable person, and comprehensive mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds are missing, raising concerns about adherence to procurement regulations.

While the project description and technical requirements are commendably clear and detailed, the complete absence of evaluation criteria and specific eligibility/exclusion requirements creates significant ambiguity for potential bidders.

The tender is severely incomplete due to the absence of actual tender documents (e.g., Invitation to Tender, full specifications, forms). Although basic metadata is present, critical information for a comprehensive bid submission is lacking.

Fairness is significantly compromised by the lack of full document access, the complete absence of transparent evaluation criteria, and the stated lack of e-submission. These factors create an uneven playing field and hinder equal access for all potential suppliers.

The tender scores low on practicality due to the absence of electronic submission capabilities and a direct URL for accessing tender documents. This creates unnecessary barriers for bidders.

Several key fields are unpopulated (Liable Person, Type, Procedure). The 'planning' status with an active submission deadline is a major internal inconsistency that could cause confusion.

While the project's subject matter (Deposit Return Scheme, Circular Economy) is inherently environmental, the tender documentation does not explicitly incorporate green procurement criteria for service delivery, nor does it highlight social or innovation aspects within the procurement process itself.
