T26-003BUS Artists in Residence Mural Scheme 2026

This tender for mural artists is generally well-structured with clear practical details, but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and some data inconsistencies, impacting transparency and fairness.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and there are no disputes. However, the absence of a clear reveal date, the lack of specified evaluation criteria, and the contradiction regarding the estimated value being 'classified' yet disclosed, represent moderate compliance gaps.

The project description is clear and the AI-extracted technical and submission requirements are understandable. However, the critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria and the lack of summarized mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements significantly reduce the overall clarity for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, duration, and location are provided. All listed documents are available. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit absence of evaluation criteria and the lack of comprehensive details for mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements in the summary.

Electronic submission is mandated, ensuring equal access, and the requirements appear generic, not tailored. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot understand the basis for award decisions. The contradictory value classification also slightly impacts transparency.

The tender excels in practicality, clearly stating electronic submission via etendersNI, providing a contract start date and duration, and indicating financing information. Document availability is also confirmed.

While most key fields are populated, there are inconsistencies. The 'Liable Person' field is empty, and codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure' are missing. Most notably, the tender states the 'Value Classified: Yes' while simultaneously providing an 'Estimated Value: 20,000.00 EUR', which is a direct contradiction.

The tender demonstrates a strong focus on social and cultural sustainability by aiming to enhance the public realm, support placemaking, and celebrate local cultural identity. However, it lacks explicit criteria or focus on environmental (green procurement) or innovation aspects.
