Zero Carbon – Consult, Design and Install - Dynamic Purchasing System DPS - Y21009

This tender for a Zero Carbon Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) demonstrates strong environmental and innovation focus with a high estimated value, but is significantly hampered by critical omissions such as evaluation criteria, detailed exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements, impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness.

The tender exhibits significant legal compliance concerns, primarily due to the fundamental misclassification of a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) as a 'Restricted procedure'. Furthermore, the absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and the missing reveal date are critical omissions that undermine transparency and legal robustness.

While the description of the DPS and its lots is clear, the overall clarity is severely compromised by the lack of specified evaluation criteria, detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements. The procedural misclassification also introduces ambiguity.

The tender is notably incomplete, lacking essential information such as detailed evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty, and only one document summary is provided out of four listed.

Fairness is significantly impacted by the complete absence of evaluation criteria, which prevents objective and transparent assessment of bids. The misclassification of the procedure type could also mislead potential suppliers, affecting equal access to information.

Practicality is moderately affected by the contradiction between 'E-Procurement' being a characteristic and the automated check flagging 'No e-submission', creating uncertainty for bidders. A direct document URL is also not provided, which would enhance accessibility.

Several inconsistencies are present, including the fundamental contradiction between the tender being a 'Dynamic Purchasing System' and being classified as a 'Restricted procedure'. The 'E-Procurement' characteristic also conflicts with the 'No e-submission' automated check, and the reveal date is missing.

The tender scores highly on sustainability due to its explicit 'Zero Carbon' focus, indicating a strong commitment to green procurement. It also includes an 'Innovation Focus' characteristic. However, it lacks explicit mention of social aspects.
