This tender for apprenticeship services is clear in its purpose and basic requirements but suffers from significant gaps in transparency and process efficiency, primarily due to missing evaluation criteria and the lack of electronic submission.
The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and there are no disputes. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant legal compliance issue for an open procedure, impacting transparency and fairness.
The tender's description and core eligibility requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria significantly diminishes overall clarity for potential bidders regarding how their proposals will be assessed.
Most basic information, including title, reference, organization, value, and duration, is provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and specific financial/technical requirements beyond high-level statements.
While requirements appear generic and the tender aims for multiple providers, the absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity, making it difficult for bidders to compete fairly. The lack of e-submission also reduces equal access.
The contract start date, duration, and financing information are clearly provided. However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders.
Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are consistently populated and logical. Minor gaps exist in fields like 'Liable Person' and detailed requirement sections, but no major inconsistencies are present.
The provision of apprenticeship services inherently contributes to social sustainability. However, the tender documents do not explicitly include additional green, social, or innovation criteria for bidders, representing a missed opportunity for broader sustainability impact.
