UKRI-5085 Chillers of 850kW Capacity

This tender for chillers exhibits good basic structure and e-procurement use but is significantly hampered by the absence of evaluation criteria and a critical data inconsistency with one of the listed documents.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and there are no disputes. However, the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds in the AI-extracted requirements is a significant legal oversight. The timeframe of 35 days from today's date to the submission deadline is generally considered reasonable for an open procedure.

The core requirement for 3 chillers of 850kW capacity is clear. However, the tender critically lacks specified evaluation criteria, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged. Detailed technical specifications beyond capacity and performance conditions are also not explicitly provided in the summary.

Basic information such as title, organization, value, duration, and CPV code is present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of evaluation criteria and the 'Liable Person' field. A major concern is the 'Tender Notice' document summary, which is entirely irrelevant to this tender, raising questions about the completeness and accuracy of the provided documentation.

The tender benefits from being an open procedure with a disclosed estimated value and mandatory e-procurement via the Atamis platform, promoting equal access. The 35-day period for bid preparation is reasonable. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises fairness and transparency, as bidders cannot objectively understand the basis for award. The irrelevant document summary also raises concerns about equitable access to correct information.

Electronic submission is supported, and key dates like contract start and duration are specified, which are practical aspects. However, the lack of a direct document URL in the provided text (though implied via the platform) and the high-level nature of the requirements may necessitate further effort from bidders to obtain comprehensive information.

Dates are logical, and there are no disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and procedure codes are missing. Critically, the content summary for 'Document 1: Tender Notice' is entirely unrelated to this tender, indicating a severe data inconsistency or processing error.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social, or innovation criteria. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards. This represents a missed opportunity for integrating broader public value.
