Service for ward dishwashers

This preliminary market engagement notice is clear about its purpose but is critically flawed by an incorrect CPV classification, alongside significant gaps in transparency and practicality typical of a full tender.

The most significant legal compliance issue is the incorrect CPV code (72416000 - Application service providers) assigned to a service for ward dishwashers. This misclassification can severely hinder the visibility of the opportunity to relevant suppliers and potentially lead to legal challenges. While it's a PME, this fundamental error is concerning for the future tender's compliance.

The notice is clear about its status as a preliminary market engagement and explicitly states that detailed requirements, exclusion grounds, and financial criteria will be provided in the future tender. The service description is unambiguous and easy to understand.

As a preliminary market engagement notice, it intentionally lacks full details such as specific technical and financial requirements, and evaluation criteria. The estimated value is classified, which reduces the overall completeness of information for potential bidders, even at this early stage.

The classified estimated value significantly impacts fairness by preventing potential bidders from assessing the scale of the opportunity transparently. The absence of electronic submission also creates a barrier to equal access. However, the current eligibility requirements are generic, which is positive.

The lack of electronic submission is a major practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for interested parties. While contract duration and start date are clear, the classified value reduces practicality for bidders in their decision-making process.

Dates provided (engagement deadline, estimated tender publication, contract start) are logical and consistent. Most key fields are populated, although 'Liable Person' is empty and 'Type/Procedure' are 'None' as expected for a PME. The CPV code, while incorrect, is consistently applied within the notice.

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided information. This indicates a lack of integration of sustainability considerations, which is a missed opportunity.
