Reconstruction of Mäetaguse wastewater treatment plant

This tender for the reconstruction of Mäetaguse wastewater treatment plant demonstrates strong clarity and completeness in its documentation, with well-defined requirements and an objective evaluation process. While explicitly incorporating green procurement, there is room for improvement in addressing social and innovation aspects.

The tender demonstrates good legal compliance, clearly defining the procedure type (LM) and CPV codes. The submission deadline of 17 days is reasonable, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Mandatory exclusion grounds refer to the national Public Procurement Act, indicating adherence to national regulations. The estimated value is disclosed, despite a 'Value Classified: Yes' flag, which is a minor ambiguity but does not hinder transparency.

The tender documentation is highly clear and unambiguous. The project description is concise, and all requirements, including mandatory exclusion, eligibility, technical capability, financial, and submission criteria, are well-documented and easy to understand. Evaluation criteria are explicitly stated as the lowest price, and performance conditions clearly reference relevant documents.

This tender is very complete, providing all essential information such as title, reference, organization, financial details, timeline, and location. All necessary requirements and evaluation criteria are thoroughly defined. The tender includes 15 documents, covering all aspects from technical specifications and draft contracts to various submission forms, ensuring bidders have comprehensive information.

The tender exhibits strong fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the evaluation criteria are objective and transparent (lowest price). Electronic submission is supported, promoting equal access. The technical capability requirement for previous experience with a wastewater treatment plant of at least 100 IE pollution load within 60 months is specific but appears justifiable for the specialized nature of the work and does not suggest tailoring to a specific company.

The tender supports electronic submission, which enhances practicality. The contract duration is clearly specified as 6 months, and financing conditions are stated to be available within the draft contract. While a direct document URL is not explicitly provided in the summary, and the exact contract start date is not given (only duration), these are minor points given the overall structure.

The data presented in the tender is highly consistent. All key fields are populated, and there are no detected suspensions or disputes. Dates for reveal, submission, and opening are logical and follow a consistent timeline, indicating a well-managed data entry process.

The tender explicitly identifies as 'Green Procurement,' which is a positive step towards environmental sustainability. However, it lacks specific criteria or focus on social aspects or innovation. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
