ACTIVE Cup Project Simulation Programme

This tender provides a clear description of the required service but is significantly hampered by critical omissions, including the absence of evaluation criteria and the unavailability of key contractual documents, alongside an outdated submission process.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code appropriately, and the submission period is reasonable. However, the immediate unavailability of the draft contract template and the contradictory classification of the estimated value (disclosed but marked as classified) raise compliance concerns. The AI summary also indicates a lack of explicit mandatory exclusion or eligibility grounds, which are standard in public procurement.

The project description and technical requirements are clearly articulated, detailing the scope, frequency, and locations of the ACTIVE Cup program. However, a significant deficiency is the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria, which severely impacts the clarity for potential bidders on how their proposals will be assessed.

While basic information such as title, organization, deadlines, value, and duration are present, the tender is incomplete in critical areas. The draft contract template is currently unavailable with a 'Page not found' error and is stated to follow 'next week,' and the full 'Specification' document, which is referenced for complete information, is not fully provided. This significantly hinders a bidder's ability to prepare a comprehensive response.

Fairness is significantly compromised by several factors. The lack of explicit evaluation criteria makes the assessment process opaque. The absence of an e-procurement portal, requiring all submissions via email, creates an unequal playing field and is not aligned with modern best practices for accessibility. Furthermore, the unavailability of the contract template and full specification at the outset limits full document access, and the contradictory value classification adds to transparency concerns.

The tender's practicality is notably reduced by its reliance on email for all correspondence and submissions, rather than utilizing an e-procurement portal. This outdated method can increase administrative burden and potential for errors. The unavailability of the contract template also poses a practical challenge for bidders in understanding the full contractual obligations.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and there is an inconsistency where the estimated value is disclosed but simultaneously marked as 'Value Classified: Yes.'

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or considerations related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability objectives into the procurement process.
