Fuel Procurement for Ogre Municipality and its Institutions

This tender exhibits significant issues regarding legal compliance, fairness, and data consistency due to an incorrect CPV code and restricted document access, despite clear structural elements and e-procurement capabilities.

The tender suffers from a critical legal compliance issue with the assignment of CPV code 3 (9000000), which pertains to services, instead of an appropriate code for fuel supplies. This fundamental misclassification can lead to incorrect publication and reduced competition. While the procedure type is clear and deadlines are reasonable, the CPV error is a major flaw.

The tender's description is clear, and the structure, including the main 'Nolikums' and part-specific requirements, is well-defined. Evaluation criteria for financial proposals are explicitly mentioned in the part-specific documents, ensuring bidders understand how their offers will be assessed.

While most basic information, deadlines, duration, and document references are provided, the estimated value of the procurement is not disclosed. This omission impacts the completeness of critical financial information for potential bidders.

Fairness is severely compromised by the 'Restricted document access' flag, which hinders equal opportunity for all potential bidders. The non-disclosure of the estimated value further reduces transparency. Although the open procedure and division into parts are positive, these critical access and transparency issues significantly detract from overall fairness.

The tender supports e-procurement, which is a positive aspect for practicality. However, the 'Restricted document access' issue significantly impedes practical participation. The absence of a specific contract start date and detailed financing information also reduces the practicality for bidders to plan effectively.

A major inconsistency lies in the CPV code, which is assigned to 'services' despite the tender being for 'supplies' of fuel. This fundamental mismatch indicates poor data quality. The absence of an estimated value also represents a gap in consistent financial data.

The tender does not include any specific criteria or focus on sustainability, such as green procurement aspects, social considerations, or innovation. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
