Supply of Traffic Surveys Framework 2026

This tender for traffic data collection services is moderately structured, providing clear basic information and requirements, but is significantly hampered by the critical absence of evaluation criteria and lack of e-submission, impacting clarity, completeness, and fairness.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly. However, the missing tender reveal date, lack of specific mandatory exclusion grounds, and the critical absence of evaluation criteria represent significant gaps in transparency and compliance with best practices for public procurement.

The service description and basic eligibility/technical requirements are clear. However, the critical absence of evaluation criteria severely impacts the clarity for potential bidders, making it difficult to understand how proposals will be assessed. The lack of specific financial ratios also adds minor ambiguity.

While essential information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, and duration are provided, the explicit lack of evaluation criteria is a major omission. This renders the tender incomplete for bidders to prepare a fully informed and competitive offer. Only one document summary out of four also suggests potential gaps in the provided analysis.

The absence of evaluation criteria critically compromises the transparency and objectivity of the procurement process, making it unfair for bidders. Furthermore, the lack of electronic submission (e-submission) creates an unnecessary barrier and reduces equal access for all potential suppliers. Requirements appear generic and not tailored.

The lack of electronic submission is a significant practical impediment in modern public procurement, increasing administrative burden and potentially deterring bidders. While other practical details like contract start date and duration are clearly specified, the absence of e-submission lowers the overall practicality score.

There are two notable inconsistencies: the 'Value Classified: Yes' flag contradicts the disclosed estimated value of 480,000 EUR, and there is a currency discrepancy between the financial information (EUR) and the document summary (£). These issues, while not critical, indicate data quality concerns.

The tender explicitly lacks any mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded. This indicates a complete absence of sustainability considerations within the procurement process.
