Preliminary Market Engagement Regarding Market Research Services

This is a well-structured Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) for market research services, clearly outlining its purpose to inform a future multi-lot framework tender under the Procurement Act 2023.

As a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME), formal tender legal requirements are not yet applicable. The tender clearly defines its status as 'planning' and states that the eventual procurement will comply with the Procurement Act 2023. CPV codes are correctly assigned, and the PME itself is a legally sound preparatory step.

The description is very clear about the purpose of this exercise as a PME via a questionnaire. Requirements for participation in the PME are well-documented and understandable, focusing on gathering market information rather than formal tender submissions. The absence of evaluation criteria and performance conditions is appropriate for this preliminary stage.

All basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and future contract duration/start date are provided. Requirements for PME participation are defined. While it lacks the full detail of a formal tender, it is sufficiently complete for a preliminary market engagement.

The PME promotes fairness by seeking broad market input with generic eligibility requirements, ensuring it is not tailored to a specific company. The estimated value is disclosed, and document access appears to be full. The deadline for questionnaire submission is reasonable for market engagement.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and financing information is available. However, the automated check indicates a lack of e-submission support for the questionnaire, which is a notable practical drawback in modern procurement processes.

All key fields are populated, and the information provided across the basic details, description, and document summaries is consistent. There are no reported suspensions or disputes, and dates are logical.

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the provided PME information. While this is common for preliminary stages, it indicates no proactive integration of sustainability criteria at this point.
