Assessment of the economic and social value of the cultural sector in Gwynedd

This tender presents a clear project scope but suffers from significant deficiencies in transparency and completeness, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and standard procurement requirements, which could hinder fair competition.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and the submission period of 21 days is reasonable for a below-threshold contract. However, the absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and evaluation criteria raises concerns regarding full compliance with national procurement regulations.

The project description and technical capability requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the overall clarity for bidders is significantly compromised by the explicit lack of evaluation criteria and the absence of detailed exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements. The 'Required: No' status for all listed documents, including technical specifications, is also highly confusing.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code is provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the critical absence of evaluation criteria, detailed mandatory exclusion/eligibility/financial requirements, and the unusual 'Required: No' status for all listed tender documents, which suggests a lack of a comprehensive tender package.

While the technical requirements appear generic and not tailored, and the preparation time is reasonable, the fairness of the process is severely undermined by the explicit absence of evaluation criteria. Bidders cannot objectively understand how their proposals will be judged. Furthermore, the lack of e-submission creates an unnecessary barrier to equal access and efficient participation.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of an electronic submission option is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for both bidders and the contracting authority.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. Minor inconsistencies include the empty 'Liable Person' field and the 'Divided into Parts' characteristic without any further detail on specific lots or parts.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social, or innovation criteria within the procurement process itself. While the project's subject matter relates to social value, the tender documentation does not reflect these aspects as evaluation or performance criteria for bidders.
