PS25322 - RICHeS Heritage and Conservation Science Labour Survey

This tender provides a clear project description and technical requirements but suffers from significant omissions regarding evaluation criteria, eligibility, and exclusion grounds, impacting transparency and completeness.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes appropriately. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and evaluation criteria represents a notable compliance gap, even for a below-threshold procedure. The reveal date is missing, which affects the transparency of the bidding period.

The project description, including definitions of 'capacity' and 'capability', is very clear and unambiguous. Technical and financial requirements are also well-articulated. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces overall clarity for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, value, and duration are provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the lack of explicit eligibility criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and detailed evaluation criteria. The characteristic 'Divided into Parts' is mentioned without further elaboration, and the status of the single listed PDF document ('Required: No') is ambiguous.

The tender discloses the estimated value and supports e-procurement via Jaggaer, promoting equal access. Technical requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria significantly undermines the transparency and objectivity of the selection process, impacting fairness.

Electronic submission is supported via the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal, and key dates like contract start and duration are clearly specified. However, a direct URL for tender documents is not provided in the given information, and the nature of the single listed PDF document is somewhat unclear, potentially hindering practical access to full tender details.

The tender generally exhibits good data consistency with logical dates and no reported disputes. However, the 'Liable Person' field is unpopulated, and there is a minor currency inconsistency between the estimated value in EUR (120,000.00 EUR) and the budget limit in GBP (£100,000 excluding VAT).

The tender explicitly mentions an 'Innovation Focus' and promotes a 'sustainable methodology' for future research, which are positive aspects. However, it lacks specific criteria or considerations for green procurement or broader social aspects, which are increasingly important in modern public tenders.
