Tenders are invited for the supply of Inspection, Maintenance and Repairs of Air Conditioning units, Heat Recovery units, Air Handling Units, Fire Dampers, Chiller Units, Air Source Heating and Cooling Pumps and Cleaning of Supply and Extract Ductwork within Mid and East Antrim Borough Council buildings.

This tender provides a clear scope of services but is critically incomplete due to the absence of any tender documents and detailed requirements, making it challenging for potential bidders to prepare a compliant and competitive offer.

The tender appears to follow an open procedure, but the complete lack of detailed requirements for exclusion, eligibility, technical capability, and financial standing, along with the absence of tender documents, raises significant concerns regarding transparency, equal treatment, and adherence to public procurement principles.

While the general scope of services and geographical area are clearly described, the complete absence of tender documents and specific requirements for bidder qualifications, submission content, and evaluation criteria severely compromises the clarity for potential suppliers.

The tender is critically incomplete. The absence of any attached documents, detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility criteria, specific technical capability requirements beyond a restatement of services, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria means essential information for bidders is entirely missing.

The lack of detailed and objective requirements, particularly for eligibility, technical capability, financial standing, and evaluation criteria, creates a high risk of an unfair and non-transparent procurement process. Without these, the contracting authority has excessive discretion, potentially leading to arbitrary decisions. There is no explicit evidence of tailoring, but the lack of detail is a significant fairness risk.

It is highly impractical for bidders to prepare a comprehensive and compliant tender submission based solely on the summary provided. Essential information regarding the scope's specifics, performance standards, contractual terms, and submission format is entirely absent.

The provided summary information is internally consistent, but its brevity and the absence of supporting documents limit the scope for comprehensive consistency checks.

The tender does not include any explicit green, social, or innovation criteria, indicating a missed opportunity to promote sustainable procurement practices.
