Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions with Smart Urban Technologies in Valmiera

This EU-funded tender for smart urban technologies in Valmiera is severely hampered by critical transparency issues, including undisclosed value, restricted document access, and missing evaluation criteria, significantly impacting its fairness and legal compliance.

The tender exhibits significant legal compliance issues, primarily due to the undisclosed estimated value and restricted access to tender documents, which are fundamental breaches of transparency for an open, EU-funded, and WTO/GPA procedure.

While the project description is clear, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria makes it impossible for bidders to understand how proposals will be assessed, severely impacting the clarity of the tender process.

The tender lacks crucial information, including the estimated value, full access to tender documents, and detailed evaluation criteria, rendering it incomplete for potential bidders to formulate comprehensive proposals.

Fairness is severely compromised by the restricted document access, undisclosed estimated value, and the complete absence of evaluation criteria, creating an uneven playing field and hindering equal opportunity for all potential bidders.

Despite supporting e-procurement, the practicality is significantly reduced by restricted document access, which creates a major hurdle for bidders. The absence of a contract start date and detailed financing information also adds to practical challenges.

Most basic data fields are consistent, and dates are logical. However, the estimated value is not populated despite being marked as 'not classified', which represents a notable inconsistency.

The tender's title explicitly indicates a focus on greenhouse gas emission reduction and smart urban technologies, suggesting green and innovation aspects. However, the automated checks flag a lack of explicit green/innovation criteria and social aspects within the documents.
