Dynamic Purchasing System (“DPS”) of Temporary Worker Agencies, and Interim Contractors/Consultants for Preferred Supplier Listing (“PSL”) Status for Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council – Y23017

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) presents a clear service description but suffers from significant deficiencies in legal compliance and transparency, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds.

The tender exhibits contradictions in procedure type (Restricted vs. DPS) and critically lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and evaluation criteria, which are fundamental for legal compliance. The 'Over Sum Limit: No' for a 100M EUR value is also inconsistent with standard thresholds. CPV and NUTS codes are correctly assigned.

The description of the service and the organization is clear and understandable. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria and mandatory exclusion grounds significantly diminishes the overall clarity for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, and duration are provided. However, critical elements like mandatory exclusion grounds, specific financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are explicitly noted as missing in the AI-extracted content, making the tender incomplete.

The tender benefits from a long submission deadline typical for a DPS and the use of e-procurement, promoting accessibility. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria severely undermines transparency and fairness, as bidders cannot understand the basis for assessment.

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract duration is clearly specified. While a document URL is not explicitly provided in the summary, 'Documents available' implies access. The contract start date is not fixed, which is typical for a DPS where contracts are awarded over time.

Several inconsistencies are present, including the classification of the procedure as 'Restricted' while describing a DPS, and stating 'Over Sum Limit: No' for a 100M EUR value. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty, and the reveal date is missing.

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also noted as not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
