YPO - 001086 Apprenticeships

This tender provides a clear description of its purpose and offers a generous submission deadline, but suffers from critical data inconsistencies regarding the contract start date and a complete absence of specified evaluation criteria in the summary.

The tender generally adheres to standard procurement practices, defining a restricted procedure and using appropriate CPV codes. The submission deadline is exceptionally generous. However, the stated contract start date (2023-07-31) predates the current date (2026-01-18) and the submission deadline (2027-07-31), which is a significant inconsistency raising questions about the tender's lifecycle or accuracy. The 'Liable Person' is also missing.

The tender's overall purpose and scope for apprenticeship services are clearly described. However, the AI-extracted requirements are generic and consistently refer to full tender documents for specifics. Crucially, evaluation criteria are explicitly stated as missing, which severely impacts the clarity for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, organization, reference, value, and duration is provided. However, the tender summary lacks critical details, including specific eligibility, technical, and financial requirements, and most notably, the evaluation criteria. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender promotes fairness through disclosed value, a very generous submission deadline, and the use of e-procurement. The requirements, as presented in the summary, appear generic and not tailored. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant concern, as it prevents bidders from understanding the basis of selection and preparing competitive proposals.

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract duration and estimated value are clearly stated. However, the problematic contract start date (2023) creates confusion for new providers regarding the actual commencement of services under this tender. A direct URL to the full documents is not provided in the summary.

The most significant issue is the contract start date (2023-07-31) which precedes both today's date (2026-01-18) and the submission deadline (2027-07-31). This is a critical inconsistency that undermines the reliability of the timeline. Minor inconsistencies include 'Code: N/A' for procedure type and the 'Over Sum Limit: No' for a 10 billion EUR value, which might be context-dependent but appears contradictory.

The tender focuses on apprenticeship services, which inherently contribute to social development and skills enhancement. However, the documentation does not explicitly incorporate or evaluate broader sustainability criteria such as green procurement, specific social clauses beyond the core service, or innovation focus.
