Contrat de services de comptage (électricité et eau) - UoBath/Proc/1439

This tender provides a clear technical description but suffers from significant fairness issues due to highly specific hardware requirements and a critical lack of evaluation criteria. Overall, it presents notable gaps in transparency and competition.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code appropriately, and no disputes are noted. The estimated value is disclosed. However, the 'Missing reveal date' and 'Status: planning' suggest potential preliminary information or a lack of full transparency regarding the tender's official launch, which slightly impacts compliance best practices.

The description of the existing sub-metering system and the technical requirements are exceptionally clear and detailed, providing a strong understanding of the scope. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly hinders bidders' ability to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

Basic information such as title, organization, reference, value, duration, and location is provided. Nevertheless, the tender is incomplete due to the critical omission of evaluation criteria. Additionally, one of the listed tender documents failed to download, impacting full information access.

This category is significantly impacted by the highly specific technical requirements, mandating experience with 'the same hardware and software' including named brands like Elcomponent, iSMA, and LoRaWAN. This strongly suggests tailoring to specific companies, severely limiting competition. The absence of evaluation criteria further compromises transparency and objectivity. The 'Value Classified: Yes' alongside a disclosed value is also contradictory.

Electronic submission is supported via the Delta eSourcing portal, and key dates like contract start and duration are clearly specified. However, the failed download of one tender document (OCDS Release Package) presents a practical hurdle for potential bidders seeking complete information.

Several key fields, such as 'Liable Person', 'Type Code', and 'Procedure Code', are left empty. A notable inconsistency is the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag appearing alongside an explicitly disclosed estimated value, which is contradictory.

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or mentions related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate modern sustainability and responsible procurement practices.
