Pyrolyser & Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometer

This tender for a Pyrolyser & Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometer system is generally well-described technically, but suffers from significant gaps in crucial procedural details like evaluation criteria and e-submission, impacting fairness and completeness.

The tender defines an Open procedure and assigns a relevant CPV code. Deadlines are within a reasonable range (15 days from today's date). There are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the summary lacks specific mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements, and the reveal date is missing, which are minor procedural gaps.

The description of the required GC-MS system and its purpose is clear and unambiguous. The AI-extracted technical requirements are well-defined and understandable. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly reduces overall clarity regarding how bids will be assessed.

Basic information such as title, organization, reference, value, duration, and CPV code are all present. Documents are available. However, the tender notice summary is incomplete regarding mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial requirements, and most critically, it explicitly lacks specified evaluation criteria.

The tender provides full document access and discloses the estimated value, which are positive for fairness. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major flaw, preventing bidders from understanding how their proposals will be judged and severely impacting transparency and objectivity. The lack of e-submission also reduces equal access.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority. A document URL is not explicitly provided in the summary, though documents are listed as available.

Most key fields are populated, and dates (submission, contract start, duration) are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include the 'Liable Person' field being empty and 'N/A' for procedure codes, along with the missing reveal date.

The tender notice does not explicitly include green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus criteria. However, the purpose of the procured equipment—analysis of microplastics and environmental monitoring—inherently contributes to environmental sustainability and societal well-being, providing an indirect sustainability benefit.
