Design of Haapsalu KHK ventilation system

This tender presents a generally well-structured procurement for design services, but is significantly hampered by a critical contradiction in its evaluation criteria and a potentially restrictive mandatory site visit requirement.

The tender demonstrates good adherence to national regulations, including the 'or equivalent' clause and reference to RHS § 111 lg 6 for the site visit. Deadlines are reasonable, and CPV codes are appropriate. However, the procedure type is vaguely defined, which could lead to minor confusion.

The project description, technical requirements, and submission forms are generally clear and well-documented. However, there is a direct and critical contradiction between the stated 'relative_weighting' evaluation criteria and the explicit instruction that 'Tender offers will be evaluated solely based on price.' This fundamental inconsistency severely impacts clarity.

Most essential information, including title, organization, value, deadlines, and location, is provided. All relevant documents appear to be attached. However, the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are uninformative ('N/A'), and the contradiction in evaluation criteria also indicates a lack of fully complete and consistent guidance.

The tender promotes fairness through full document access, disclosed value, reasonable deadlines, and the 'or equivalent' clause. E-procurement is enabled. Requirements for specialists are specific but appear standard for the service. However, the mandatory, supervised site visit requiring a signed confirmation could disproportionately affect bidders with limited travel resources or those from outside the immediate region, potentially limiting competition.

Electronic submission is well-supported, and the duration is clearly specified. However, the mandatory site visit, requiring physical presence and a signed confirmation at a specific time with a contact person, presents a significant practical hurdle for potential bidders, increasing time and cost commitments.

While most basic data fields are consistent, there is a critical and irreconcilable contradiction regarding the evaluation criteria ('relative_weighting' vs. 'solely based on price'). This fundamental inconsistency undermines the reliability of the tender information. A minor inconsistency is 'Value Classified: Yes' despite the value being disclosed.

The tender explicitly lists 'Green Procurement' as a characteristic, which is positive. However, it lacks specific details on how these green principles will be implemented or evaluated. There is no mention of social aspects or innovation focus, as also flagged by automated checks.
