KCC Non-Maintained and Independent Special Schools (NMISS) Placement Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) - SC21032

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System is generally well-described but suffers from significant gaps in transparency, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and financial disclosure, which impact fairness and clarity.

The tender utilizes a valid Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) framework and has an appropriate CPV code. No disputes are reported. However, the estimated value is classified, and the procedure type description could be slightly clearer regarding the interplay between DPS and competitive procedure with negotiation.

The core description of the DPS and its purpose is clear. However, the summary explicitly notes the absence of crucial details such as specific mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, lot structure details, and, critically, evaluation criteria, which significantly reduces overall clarity for bidders.

Basic information, deadlines, and contract duration are present, and documents are available. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and key requirements (financial, exclusion grounds) and evaluation criteria are noted as missing from the provided summary.

The long submission deadline for the DPS and generic eligibility requirements are positive for fairness. However, the classified estimated value and the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly undermine transparency and fairness for potential bidders, making it difficult to understand the basis for selection.

E-procurement is indicated, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, a direct document URL is not provided in the summary, and financing information is undisclosed. There is also a contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' in automated checks.

Dates are logical and consistent for a DPS, and no disputes are reported. However, some key fields like 'Liable Person' are empty, procedure codes are 'N/A', and there is a notable contradiction between 'E-Procurement' and 'No e-submission' in the automated checks.

The tender summary and automated checks indicate no explicit focus on green procurement, broader social criteria (beyond the inherent social value of the service itself), or innovation. It is not EU funded.
