Freezer

This tender for a freezer for a tissue bank is well-structured and highly transparent, demonstrating strong legal compliance, clarity, and fairness in its requirements and process. While practical aspects are generally good, the tender lacks any explicit sustainability, social, or innovation criteria.

The tender demonstrates strong legal compliance, utilizing the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) for exclusion and qualification grounds. The 10-day submission period is reasonable and exceeds the minimum requirement. The procedure type (VO, small procurement) is appropriate for the estimated value, and the CPV code is correctly assigned. No disputes or suspensions are noted.

The tender is exceptionally clear. The description is concise, and AI-extracted requirements are detailed and well-structured. Evaluation criteria are explicitly defined as 100% total bid cost in Document 4, resolving any initial ambiguity from 'relative_weighting'. Performance conditions are clearly outlined in the draft contract.

All essential information, including title, reference, organization, financial details, timeline, and location, is comprehensively provided. Seven relevant documents are attached, covering technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and a draft contract, ensuring bidders have all necessary information.

The tender promotes fairness through full document access, transparent disclosure of the estimated value, and objective evaluation criteria based solely on total bid cost. Electronic submission and e-procurement features ensure equal access. The technical requirements appear functional and generic for a tissue bank freezer, showing no signs of being tailored to a specific company.

The tender supports electronic submission and e-procurement, enhancing accessibility for bidders. The contract duration is clearly specified. However, an explicit document URL is not provided (though implied by e-procurement), and the contract start date is not specified, which can sometimes lead to planning uncertainties for the successful bidder.

The tender exhibits high data consistency, with all key fields populated and logical dates for the procurement timeline. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. The only minor point is the slightly contradictory 'Value Classified: Yes' when the value is explicitly stated, but this does not impact the overall consistency of the data.

This tender does not include any specific criteria related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is also not indicated as EU-funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards. Consequently, its contribution to sustainability objectives is minimal.
