3D printer

This tender for a 3D printer is well-documented and clear in its requirements, but raises significant concerns regarding fairness due to potentially restrictive qualification criteria and a contradictory value classification. The lack of explicit sustainability considerations is also a notable drawback.

The tender generally complies with legal requirements, including reasonable deadlines and defined procedures. However, the CPV code 'Miscellaneous general and special-purpose machinery' is overly broad for a 3D printer, which could lead to miscategorization.

The tender's description, requirements, and evaluation criteria are clearly articulated. Documents like 'Annex 1 Technical Requirements' and 'Evaluation Criteria' provide specific and understandable details for bidders.

All essential information, including basic details, financial figures, timelines, location, and a comprehensive set of documents, is provided, ensuring a complete tender package.

Significant concerns exist regarding fairness. The technical requirement for a specific print area (360x260x360 mm) and a high turnover requirement (1,000,000 EUR for a 550,000 EUR tender) appear restrictive and could limit competition. The 'Value Classified: Yes' alongside a disclosed estimated value is also contradictory and confusing.

Electronic submission and EU funding are positive aspects. However, the tender lacks explicit information on the contract's start date and its overall duration, which can hinder practical planning for potential bidders.

While most data fields are consistently populated, there is a direct contradiction between the 'Estimated Value: 550,000.00 EUR' being disclosed and the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag, which indicates an inconsistency in data presentation.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, social aspects, or innovation-focused criteria. While it is EU-funded, no specific sustainability requirements are outlined, indicating a missed opportunity.
