This is a well-described Preliminary Market Engagement Notice for a groundworks framework, demonstrating good transparency regarding scope and value, and encouraging broad participation. However, it lacks critical details such as a defined procedure type, evaluation criteria, and e-submission capabilities, which are essential for a subsequent formal tender.
As a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, not all formal tender legal requirements apply. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no disputes. However, the absence of a defined procedure type and a clear reveal date for the notice are notable omissions.
The description of the works and the requirements for PME participation are clear and unambiguous. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a significant clarity gap for future stages of the procurement process.
Most basic information, including estimated value, duration, and scope, is well-defined. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing procedure type and, critically, the absence of any evaluation criteria for the subsequent formal tender.
The tender promotes fairness by disclosing the estimated value, encouraging SMEs/VCSEs, and being divided into parts. However, the lack of evaluation criteria and the absence of e-submission could hinder transparency and equal access in the formal tender stage.
Contract duration and start date are clearly specified, which is practical. The major practical drawback is the lack of electronic submission, which is a standard expectation in modern procurement processes.
Key dates and financial information are logical and consistent across the provided data. The primary gaps are the 'None' values for 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields, which are expected to be populated in a formal tender.
The notice encourages VCSE participation, which is a positive social aspect. However, it lacks explicit criteria for environmental sustainability (green procurement) or innovation, indicating a limited focus on broader sustainability goals.
