North Forest District Planting and Forest Management DPS

This tender for forestry services, utilizing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), is significantly hampered by a critical lack of essential documentation and detailed requirements, raising concerns about transparency and fairness despite its clear scope and long-term potential.

The absence of specified mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements represents a significant legal compliance gap. The classification as a 'Restricted procedure' for a DPS also warrants clarification, as DPS admission is typically open.

While the service description and geographical scope are clear, the tender lacks clarity on how technical capabilities will be assessed, what financial information is required, and the overall evaluation criteria for DPS admission.

The tender is critically incomplete due to the complete absence of any attached documents, mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria, making it impossible for potential bidders to prepare a comprehensive and compliant application.

The lack of evaluation criteria and detailed requirements makes it challenging to assess the fairness of the procurement process. The specific operational capacity requirement (750-900 Ha annually) could potentially limit competition by disproportionately favoring larger, established companies, raising concerns about potential tailoring.

Without any tender documents or specified submission details beyond the deadline, it is impractical for potential bidders to understand the full application process or prepare a compliant submission. The lack of e-submission is also a practical drawback.

The classification of the procedure as 'Restricted' for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) appears inconsistent with the typical open nature of DPS admission, requiring clarification to ensure adherence to procurement principles.

The tender does not specify any green procurement, social, or innovation criteria, representing a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability considerations into a significant forestry contract.
