FIRE ALARM AND DETECTION WORKS (The Lindales)

This tender for fire alarm and detection works provides clear technical requirements but suffers from significant deficiencies in legal compliance, clarity, and fairness due to the absence of explicit evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and financial requirements.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and there are no disputes. However, the absence of a reveal date, explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, and, critically, evaluation criteria, represents significant gaps in legal compliance regarding transparency and fair process.

The project description and technical requirements for the fire alarm system installation are clear and specific. Nevertheless, the complete lack of specified evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and financial requirements severely diminishes the overall clarity of the procurement process for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and documents are present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of critical elements like evaluation criteria, explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and the 'Liable Person' field.

While document access is implied and the value is disclosed, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a critical flaw that severely undermines the fairness and transparency of the tender process. Bidders cannot objectively understand how their proposals will be assessed. The contradiction regarding e-submission also creates uncertainty.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the explicit flag of 'No e-submission' (despite 'E-Procurement' characteristic) is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. The lack of a direct document URL, requiring access via a specific program, also adds a minor practical hurdle.

Dates are logical and consistent, and there are no disputes. However, minor inconsistencies exist with missing codes for the procedure type and an empty 'Liable Person' field. A notable contradiction is present between the 'E-Procurement' characteristic and the 'No e-submission' automated check result.

The tender shows a complete absence of any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
