This tender, currently in a 'planning' status for 'preliminary market engagement', clearly outlines the required services but suffers from significant procedural and documentation gaps, particularly the absence of a formal procedure type and electronic submission.

The tender lacks a defined procedure type and code, which is a fundamental omission even for market engagement. The CPV code is overly broad, and mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly mentioned. While the 'planning' status mitigates some formal compliance requirements, basic procedural clarity is still expected.

The description of the required services and technical capabilities is clear and unambiguous. The purpose as 'preliminary market engagement' is also stated. However, the overall clarity is hampered by the absence of a comprehensive document detailing the market engagement process, objectives, and next steps.

Basic information such as title, organization, estimated value, duration, and submission deadline is provided. However, critical elements like a formal procedure type, liable person, and a reveal date are missing. The provided 'documents' are OCDS records and planning notices, not a comprehensive market engagement document, leading to an incomplete information package.

The requirements appear generic and not tailored to a specific company, and the estimated value is disclosed. The deadline is reasonable for preliminary market engagement. However, the absence of an electronic submission option creates a barrier to entry and reduces equal access for potential suppliers, impacting fairness.

The lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for both the contracting authority and suppliers. While contract start and duration are known, the absence of a direct document URL suggests reliance on a specific portal or manual access.

Several key fields, such as 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person', are unpopulated. There is also an inconsistency in the estimated value, stated as 36,000 EUR in the basic information but £30,000 in document summaries. Dates are logical, and no disputes or suspensions are noted.

The tender does not include any explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
