Y22019 - Connect2Surrey - Dynamic Purchasing System of Temporary Worker Agencies and Interim Contractors/Consultants for Preferred Provider Listing status

The provided tender information is severely lacking, particularly due to the complete absence of any tender documents and detailed requirements, making a comprehensive assessment impossible and raising significant concerns about transparency and fairness.

The absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, detailed selection criteria (eligibility, technical, financial), and crucially, all tender documents, makes it impossible to fully assess legal compliance. The classification of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) as a 'Restricted procedure' is a legal inconsistency, as admission to a DPS must be an open procedure.

While the basic description of the DPS's purpose is clear, the complete absence of detailed requirements and tender documents renders the overall tender extremely unclear for potential bidders. It is impossible to understand the full scope or expectations.

The tender information provided is highly incomplete. Key sections like mandatory exclusion grounds, detailed selection criteria, evaluation criteria, and all tender documents are missing, making it impossible for a bidder to prepare a compliant and informed submission.

The extreme lack of detail and absence of tender documents create a highly unfair bidding environment. Without clear, objective, and publicly available criteria, the process risks being arbitrary, non-transparent, and potentially favoring incumbent suppliers or those with prior insider knowledge.

From a bidder's perspective, it is impractical to respond to this tender as presented. There is insufficient information to understand what is required, how to apply, or what criteria will be used for selection, making a meaningful application impossible.

The basic descriptive data is internally consistent, but the classification of 'Restricted procedure' for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is a significant inconsistency with standard procurement practices, as DPS admission is an open procedure.

No information regarding green procurement or social criteria is provided, indicating a lack of focus on sustainability aspects in this tender.
