Lowestoft Dynamic Purchasing System

This tender establishes a long-term Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for construction works, demonstrating good intent for market access but suffering from significant gaps in detailed requirements and evaluation criteria in the provided summary.

The use of a DPS is a compliant procurement procedure, and CPV/NUTS codes are correctly assigned. However, the summary lacks specific mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements, and there are contradictions regarding value classification and sum limits, which are concerning for full legal disclosure standards.

The overall description of the DPS and its purpose is clear. However, the AI-extracted requirements are very general, and critically, there are no specified evaluation criteria for joining the DPS, which significantly reduces clarity for potential bidders.

Basic information, value, and duration are present. However, the tender summary is incomplete regarding specific mandatory exclusion grounds, detailed financial/technical requirements, and, most importantly, evaluation criteria. A direct URL to the full tender documents is also missing.

The tender aims for broad participation (large/small, local/national providers) and utilizes an e-procurement system, which promotes equal access. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria for DPS qualification is a significant concern for transparency and objective assessment, potentially impacting fairness.

Electronic submission is supported via In-tend eSourcing, and the duration is clearly stated. However, the lack of a direct URL to the eSourcing system or full tender documents in the provided summary creates a practical hurdle for interested suppliers.

Several inconsistencies are present, including 'Value Classified: Yes' contradicting the disclosed value, 'Over Sum Limit: No' for a substantial estimated value, and contradictions between automated checks and the description regarding e-submission and contract duration. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender does not explicitly integrate green procurement, social criteria (beyond general market access), or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity for a large-scale, long-term public procurement to drive broader sustainability objectives.
