Provision of LED Lighting

This RFI for LED lighting installations is clearly defined as preliminary market engagement, providing good transparency on its purpose and scope, though it lacks e-submission and explicit sustainability focus. The documentation clearly states that this is not a formal call for competition, which appropriately shapes the expectations for requirements and evaluation.

The tender clearly identifies itself as preliminary market engagement under the Procurement Act 2023, which is legally sound for an RFI. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no disputes. However, the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields in the basic information are unpopulated, which is a minor data quality issue.

The description is exceptionally clear in defining the tender as an RFI, explicitly stating it is not a call for competition, will not be scored, and is for information only. All formal requirements (exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial) are clearly marked as 'not applicable' for this stage, which is highly unambiguous.

Basic information, estimated value, duration, and contract start date are all provided. Documents are available and summarized. While formal tender requirements are absent by design for an RFI, the system flagged a 'missing reveal date' and the 'Liable Person' field is empty, indicating minor gaps in structured data completeness.

The RFI nature inherently promotes fairness by seeking broad market input without pre-selection or formal evaluation criteria. The value is disclosed, and there's no indication of tailored requirements. However, the absence of e-submission could pose a barrier to equal access for some suppliers.

The lack of e-submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for both the contracting authority and suppliers. Other practical details like contract start and duration are clearly specified.

Dates are logical and consistent, with the submission deadline preceding the contract start. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies exist with unpopulated 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person' fields, but the overall data is largely consistent.

The RFI does not explicitly mention any green, social, or innovation criteria. While it's a preliminary market engagement, it represents a missed opportunity to gather information on sustainable solutions or to signal future sustainability priorities for the upcoming tender.
