Security software licenses and product support

This tender for security software licenses and support demonstrates good legal compliance and clarity regarding requirements and evaluation criteria. However, significant concerns exist regarding restricted document access and specific brand requirements, which limit fairness and competition.

The tender exhibits strong legal compliance with a clearly defined restricted procedure, appropriate CPV codes, and reasonable submission deadlines. Mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds are well-articulated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions.

The tender description is clear, and AI-extracted requirements are comprehensive and understandable. Evaluation criteria, specifically the lowest total cost, are explicitly stated in the relevant document summary, despite an automated flag suggesting otherwise.

While basic information, financial details, and requirements are largely present, the tender lacks crucial information regarding contract duration and location (NUTS code). All required documents are attached and summarized.

Fairness is significantly compromised by the 'Restricted document access' flag, which hinders equal opportunity for all potential bidders. Furthermore, the requirement for specific brands (Tenable, OPSWAT) and proof of manufacturer's representation rights for Tenable products in Estonia limits competition to a narrow set of authorized resellers, potentially tailoring the tender.

The tender supports electronic submission and e-procurement, which is practical. However, the absence of a clear contract start date and duration creates uncertainty for bidders in planning and resource allocation.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, there is an inconsistency where the automated check flags 'Missing evaluation criteria' while the document summary clearly defines it. The NUTS code is also missing.

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social, or innovation criteria. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
