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 exhibits significant deficiencies in transparency and completeness, particularly regarding the undisclosed estimated value and the absence of crucial evaluation criteria, technical, and financial requirements. While the overall purpose is clear and the timeline generous, these omissions pose considerable challenges for fair competition and legal compliance.

The estimated value is classified, which is a significant transparency issue. Crucially, the analyzed text indicates no specific mandatory exclusion grounds, which are fundamental for legal compliance. There is also a slight inconsistency in defining the procedure type as 'Restricted' while the title and description clearly state 'Dynamic Purchasing System'.

While the general description of the DPS's purpose is clear, the tender severely lacks clarity regarding how suppliers will be assessed. There are no specified evaluation criteria, technical capability requirements, or financial requirements, making it difficult for potential bidders to understand the qualification process.

The tender is incomplete due to the absence of several critical components. The estimated value is not disclosed, and there are no details on mandatory exclusion grounds, technical capabilities, financial requirements, or comprehensive evaluation criteria. This significantly hinders a full understanding of the procurement opportunity.

The classified estimated value is a major barrier to fair competition, as bidders cannot adequately assess the opportunity's scale. The complete absence of evaluation criteria makes the selection process opaque and potentially subjective, raising significant concerns about fairness and equal treatment among potential suppliers.

The tender supports E-Procurement and specifies a clear contract duration, which are practical aspects. However, the classified value and the lack of detailed requirements (technical, financial) make it less practical for suppliers to prepare comprehensive and competitive applications.

Most key fields are populated, and there are no indicated disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and there's an inconsistency between the stated 'Restricted procedure' and the 'Dynamic Purchasing System' nature of the tender. The classified value also represents a missing key data point.

The tender information provided does not include any mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. There is no indication of EU funding, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
