Ceredigion - Cleaning Products and Hygiene Consumables - RE TENDER

This tender provides basic information and an open procedure with electronic submission, but its quality is significantly hampered by the critical absence of evaluation criteria and a notable inconsistency in the estimated contract value.

The tender defines an open procedure, uses appropriate CPV and NUTS codes, and mentions mandatory exclusion grounds, indicating general compliance. However, the 'Missing reveal date' is a minor transparency issue.

The description of goods/services is clear, but the explicit absence of evaluation criteria is a major deficiency. AI-extracted requirements are high-level and lack sufficient detail for eligibility, financial, and technical aspects.

Basic information, deadlines, and duration are provided, and documents are attached. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria and a significant discrepancy in the estimated contract value (EUR vs GBP) represent major gaps.

Document access is provided, and requirements appear generic, not tailored. However, the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises the objectivity and transparency of the process, impacting fairness.

Electronic submission is supported, and contract start/duration dates are clear. The absence of a direct URL to the e-procurement portal is a minor practical inconvenience.

The most significant issue is the inconsistency between the estimated value stated as €600,000 and £500,000 in different parts of the tender. Minor fields like 'Liable Person' are also unpopulated.

The tender shows no explicit focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, nor is it indicated as EU funded, suggesting a lack of sustainability considerations.
