Assessment of the economic and social value of the cultural sector in Gwynedd

This tender provides a clear project description and technical requirements but suffers from significant deficiencies in transparency and fairness due to the absence of evaluation criteria and lack of e-submission.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant legal compliance issue, as it undermines principles of transparency and equal treatment. The lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements in the summary is also a concern, even for a below-threshold tender.

The project description and technical capability requirements are clearly articulated. However, the fundamental absence of evaluation criteria makes it impossible for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed, severely impacting the overall clarity of the tender process.

Basic information such as title, organization, value, duration, and deadlines are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the critical omission of evaluation criteria, explicit mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds, and details regarding the 'Divided into Parts' characteristic.

The estimated value is disclosed, and requirements do not appear tailored. However, the absence of evaluation criteria creates an unfair bidding environment as bidders cannot optimize their proposals. Furthermore, the lack of e-submission significantly limits equal access and participation, which is a major fairness concern in modern procurement.

Key practical details like contract start date, duration, and estimated value are provided. However, the absence of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback, creating unnecessary administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for 'Liable Person,' 'Type Code,' and 'Procedure Code,' as well as the 'Divided into Parts' characteristic lacking further detail.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, social criteria (beyond the project's subject matter), or innovation focus within the procurement process itself. It is also not EU funded, which often drives higher sustainability standards. This represents a missed opportunity to promote sustainable practices.
