Purchase of arc suppression coil KKP3 for Pärnu-Jaagupi substation (IK1574)

This tender is well-structured and clear in its requirements, but a critical clause requiring prior approval for the offered device significantly undermines fairness and competition. While many aspects are commendable, this specific requirement is a major concern.

The tender demonstrates good legal compliance with reasonable deadlines for a simplified procedure, clear definition of the procedure type (LM), and appropriate CPV codes. No disputes or suspensions are noted, and mandatory exclusion grounds are properly outlined.

The tender's description is clear and unambiguous, specifying the item and delivery details. Requirements are well-documented and understandable, evaluation criteria are explicitly 100% price-based, and performance conditions are clearly stated with supporting URLs.

All essential information, including title, reference, organization, financial details, timeline, and classification, is provided. Requirements and evaluation criteria are comprehensively defined. While the 'Location Info' field is initially vague, the description provides precise delivery details, and all 10 documents are listed.

Despite enabling e-procurement, disclosing the value, and having objective 100% price-based evaluation criteria, the requirement 'NB: Pakutav seade peab omama hankija heakskiitu.' (NB: The offered device must have the contracting authority's approval) is a critical concern. This clause severely restricts competition by implying a pre-qualification or pre-approval process, potentially limiting bids to a very narrow pool of suppliers.

Electronic submission is supported, and detailed financing information, including varying payment terms and a factoring program, is provided. Contract duration is clearly specified. However, the payment terms, especially with factoring, can extend up to 95 days, which might pose cash flow challenges for some suppliers.

Key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no detected suspensions or disputes. Minor inconsistencies exist regarding the 'Value Classified' status and the 'Location Info' field versus the detailed description.

The tender includes social aspects by referencing Elektrilevi OÜ's ethics code and occupational health and safety requirements in its performance conditions. However, it lacks explicit criteria for green procurement or innovation, and is not indicated as EU-funded.
