CHIC Merchants Framework 2026-34

This tender presents a significant framework opportunity but is hampered by critical omissions in evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and a lack of electronic submission, impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code, and shows no disputes. However, the absence of identified mandatory exclusion grounds is a significant legal compliance concern, and the reveal date is missing.

The description of the scope is clear, but the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria and the generic nature of the AI-extracted requirements significantly reduce overall clarity for potential bidders.

While basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are provided, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of evaluation criteria, specific financial requirements, and identified mandatory exclusion grounds.

The requirements appear generic, which is positive for fairness. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity, and the absence of e-submission creates barriers to equal access.

The contract start date and duration are clear. Nevertheless, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback, increasing administrative burden for all parties involved.

Dates are logical, and there are no disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field, missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure', and the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag despite the value being disclosed.

The tender does not identify any green procurement, social, or innovation aspects, nor is it indicated as EU funded, resulting in a very low sustainability score.
