Service « Vivre Mieux – Arrêter de Fumer »

This tender for a stop smoking service is severely lacking in essential documentation and detailed requirements, making it difficult for potential bidders to prepare a comprehensive and compliant application. The absence of core tender documents and financial details raises significant concerns regarding transparency and fairness.

The tender explicitly mentions 'MANDATORY EXCLUSION GROUNDS' but states 'No specific mandatory exclusion grounds are explicitly stated in the provided tender information.' This indicates a critical lack of detail regarding fundamental legal requirements. Bidders are directed to refer to full tender documents, which are not provided.

The eligibility requirements are ambiguous. It states 'The bidder must be a GP Practice.' and 'The bidder must be a Community Pharmacy.' This phrasing could imply that a bidder must be both, which is highly restrictive and contradictory to the description suggesting individual entities apply. If it means either, it should be clearly stated as 'OR'.

The tender is critically incomplete. There are '0 total' documents, no estimated value, no financial requirements, no evaluation criteria, no contract duration, and no specific location information (beyond NUTS N/A). This makes it impossible for bidders to understand the scope, financial implications, and assessment methodology.

The lack of disclosed estimated value, financial requirements, and especially evaluation criteria severely compromises fairness. Bidders cannot understand how their applications will be judged, leading to an opaque and potentially unfair process. The ambiguity in eligibility could also unfairly restrict competition.

The tender is highly impractical for bidders due to the complete absence of supporting documents and detailed requirements. Bidders cannot prepare a meaningful application without understanding the full scope, terms, and conditions. The lack of e-submission also adds an unnecessary administrative burden.

There is a potential inconsistency between the description ('GP and Community Pharmacy based stop smoking service' and 'GP Practices and Community Pharmacies are asked to apply') and the eligibility requirements ('The bidder must be a GP Practice.' and 'The bidder must be a Community Pharmacy.'). This needs clarification to ensure bidders understand if individual entities or joint ventures are expected.

There is no mention of green procurement or any other sustainability considerations.
