Rental of a research vessel for hydroacoustic assessment of fish stocks in the northeastern Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland

This tender for a research vessel rental is well-structured and highly compliant, demonstrating strong clarity and completeness in its documentation, though it lacks explicit sustainability considerations.

The tender adheres well to legal requirements, evidenced by the use of an open procedure, appropriate CPV codes, EU funding, WTO/GPA characteristics, and the inclusion of an 'equivalent products' clause. All mandatory disclosures are met, and no disputes are present.

The tender excels in clarity with a precise description, well-documented requirements, and explicitly stated evaluation criteria (100% lowest price). The provision of key documents in both Estonian and English significantly enhances understanding for a broader range of potential bidders.

The tender is highly complete, providing all essential basic information, detailed timelines, financial data, and location specifics. A comprehensive set of 12 documents, including technical specifications, draft contract, and evaluation criteria, ensures bidders have all necessary information.

Fairness is well-addressed through full document access via e-procurement, transparent disclosure of the estimated value, and objective evaluation criteria based solely on price. The explicit allowance for equivalent products further promotes fair competition.

The tender is practical, supporting electronic submission and clearly stating the contract start date and duration. Financing information (EU Funded) is provided, contributing to the overall feasibility for bidders.

Data consistency is generally strong, with most key fields populated and logical dates. However, minor inconsistencies exist between the general 'relative_weighting' characteristic and the specific '100% lowest price' criterion, and the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag despite the value being disclosed.

This tender scores low on sustainability as it does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, social aspects, or innovation-focused criteria. While EU funded, this does not automatically translate into specific sustainability requirements within the tender itself.
