1004169075 2025-SUS-004 Cost Benefit Analysis of Noise Mitigation on the Rail Network

This tender for rail noise mitigation research demonstrates a clear project scope and welcomes SMEs, but suffers from a critical lack of accessible tender documents and detailed evaluation criteria, hindering transparency and fair competition.

The tender appears to follow basic open competition principles for a below-threshold procurement. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary is a notable omission that could impact legal robustness.

The project description and core technical requirements are clearly stated. However, the lack of full tender documents and detailed evaluation criteria significantly reduces overall clarity for potential bidders.

The provided information is highly incomplete due to the absence of any attached tender documents. This means critical details regarding terms, conditions, specific methodologies, and full evaluation criteria are missing.

The open procedure and welcome to SMEs promote fairness. However, the lack of full documentation and detailed evaluation criteria creates an uneven playing field, potentially disadvantaging bidders who cannot infer unstated requirements.

The project scope and duration seem practical for desktop research. The electronic submission process is efficient. However, the absence of documents makes it impractical for bidders to prepare a comprehensive and compliant proposal.

There is a minor inconsistency between the automated check stating 'No e-submission' and the extracted requirements explicitly mentioning electronic submission via Delta eSourcing. The extracted requirements are assumed to be correct.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement or social criteria, which is a missed opportunity to promote broader sustainability objectives.
