Retention Labels – SharePoint Online

This tender for SharePoint Online retention labels is clear in its technical scope but suffers from significant deficiencies in legal compliance, completeness, and fairness due to missing critical criteria and a severe data consistency error.

The tender lacks specified mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and evaluation criteria, which are fundamental for legal compliance. The inclusion of an irrelevant document also raises concerns about process integrity.

While the project description and technical requirements are clear, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria and detailed performance conditions creates ambiguity for bidders regarding how proposals will be assessed.

Key legal and procedural information, such as mandatory exclusion/eligibility grounds and evaluation criteria, is missing. The presence of an irrelevant document further compromises the completeness of the tender package.

The complete absence of evaluation criteria severely impacts transparency and objectivity, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged. The lack of e-submission also limits equal access for potential bidders.

The tender lacks support for electronic submission, which is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. Other practical details like contract start date and duration are well-defined.

A critical flaw is the inclusion of a 'Tender Notice' document (Document 3) that is entirely unrelated to this procurement, describing additive manufacturing by a different organization. This indicates a severe data management issue.

The tender does not incorporate any green, social, or innovation-focused procurement criteria, indicating a missed opportunity to promote broader public policy objectives.
