Y22019 - Connect2Surrey - Dynamic Purchasing System of Temporary Worker Agencies and Interim Contractors/Consultants for Preferred Provider Listing status

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System for recruitment services exhibits significant deficiencies in clarity, completeness, and fairness due to missing critical information such as evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds, alongside data inconsistencies.

The absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds and the missing tender reveal date are critical legal compliance issues. The classification as 'Restricted procedure' for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which is inherently open for admission, is confusing and potentially a misclassification. CPV codes are appropriate, and no disputes are noted.

While the general description of the service and organization is clear, the tender severely lacks clarity regarding specific requirements and, most critically, evaluation criteria, which are explicitly flagged as missing. The AI-extracted requirements are minimal and highlight key omissions.

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration is provided. However, critical elements such as comprehensive requirements, detailed evaluation criteria, and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds are missing. The status of the single attached document (marked 'Required: No') also raises questions about the completeness of the provided tender documentation.

The absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major impediment to fairness and transparency. The lack of electronic submission (e-submission) creates barriers to equal access for potential bidders. The missing reveal date also impacts the fairness of initial application opportunities. While the DPS nature allows for continuous joining, these fundamental omissions undermine overall fairness.

The lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. A document URL is not provided, which hinders easy access. While the contract duration is clear, the 'Contract Start' date being in the past (2022) for a tender active in 2026, though typical for an ongoing DPS, can be confusing.

Several data inconsistencies are present: the 'Contract Start' date (2022) is in the past relative to today's date (2026), the estimated value is stated in EUR in the basic information but in GBP in the document summary, and the 'Liable Person' field is empty. The missing reveal date also contributes to data gaps.

The tender information provided does not include any mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards. This indicates a complete absence of sustainability considerations.
