Security and Information Risk Advisor (SIRA) services

This tender for SIRA services provides a clear service description but is significantly hampered by missing critical information such as evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds, alongside inconsistencies in financial data and document accessibility.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and no disputes are reported. However, the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds and evaluation criteria represents a notable gap in legal transparency and compliance requirements.

While the service description and technical requirements are clear and understandable, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria severely diminishes the overall clarity for potential bidders regarding how their proposals will be assessed.

Basic tender information, value, and duration are present. However, the critical omission of evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds, coupled with the questionable status of the full tender document set (only one PDF summarized, marked 'Required: No', after a previous withdrawal for missing documents), indicates significant incompleteness.

The lack of specified evaluation criteria undermines the objectivity and transparency of the procurement process. Furthermore, the absence of e-submission and the restriction to UK SMEs, while potentially policy-driven, limit competition and equal access. Document access also appears problematic.

Key dates and financial information are provided. However, the lack of electronic submission support and an explicit document URL presents practical hurdles for bidders. The previous tender's withdrawal due to missing documents also raises concerns about practical accessibility.

A significant inconsistency exists between the estimated value stated in EUR and the value mentioned in GBP within the AI summary and document content. Additionally, the discrepancy between the total number of documents and those summarized, along with the 'Required: No' status for the main PDF, indicates data processing inconsistencies.

The tender explicitly mentions 'Social Criteria' and 'Divided into Parts,' which are positive aspects. However, there is no indication of green procurement practices or a focus on innovation, limiting its overall sustainability profile.
