This tender is critically flawed due to the absence of essential technical specifications and evaluation criteria, rendering it unfair and practically unworkable for potential bidders.

The absence of critical technical specifications (A-10531) and explicit evaluation criteria fundamentally violates principles of transparency and equal treatment in public procurement. The re-issuance, intended to rectify previous issues, has failed to ensure legal compliance regarding complete and accessible tender documentation.

While the re-issuance process is clearly described, the core subject matter of the tender—what needs to be built and how it will be judged—is fundamentally unclear due to the missing 'Detailed Specification Document' and the complete absence of evaluation criteria.

The tender is severely incomplete as the 'Detailed Specification Document' (A-10531), which would contain specific technical requirements, is unavailable. The lack of specified evaluation criteria and the 'Page not found' error for clarification responses (A-10536) further compound this incompleteness.

The inability to access the 'Detailed Specification Document' and the absence of evaluation criteria create a highly unfair bidding environment, making it impossible for suppliers to prepare a competitive and compliant proposal. The revised submission deadline, while technically meeting minimums, is unreasonable given the critical missing information.

Despite supporting electronic submission via email, the practical ability for any supplier to formulate a meaningful and compliant bid is severely hampered by the missing technical specifications and evaluation criteria. It is practically impossible to respond effectively to this tender.

The narrative regarding the tender's re-issuance due to technical issues is consistent across the provided documents. Dates are logical and consistent. However, minor fields like 'Type Code', 'Procedure Code', and 'Liable Person' are not populated.

The tender documentation provides no indication of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. There is no mention of EU funding, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
