Employability Skills and Advice Programme for Refugees

This tender for an employability skills program for refugees demonstrates a clear social purpose and innovation focus, but is significantly hampered by missing evaluation criteria and a lack of e-submission, impacting fairness and completeness.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly. The submission period of 22 days is reasonable for a below-threshold tender. However, the explicit absence of mandatory exclusion grounds and evaluation criteria raises concerns regarding full compliance with transparency requirements.

The service description is exceptionally clear, detailed, and unambiguous, outlining the program's objectives and target groups effectively. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria makes the assessment process unclear for potential bidders.

Basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are well-defined. The service requirements are comprehensive. Nevertheless, the critical omission of evaluation criteria is a major gap. The 'Official PDF Version' being marked as 'Required: No' is also ambiguous and suggests potential incompleteness of the provided tender package.

The tender requirements do not appear to be tailored to a specific company, which is a positive aspect. However, the complete lack of evaluation criteria severely undermines transparency and objectivity in the assessment process. The absence of e-submission also creates barriers to equal access for all potential bidders.

The tender specifies the contract start date and duration. However, the lack of electronic submission capabilities is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. A direct URL for the main tender document is also not explicitly provided.

Key fields are largely populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field and 'N/A' codes for procedure type, but these do not significantly impact overall data integrity.

This tender scores highly on social aspects, as its core purpose is to provide employability support for refugees, demonstrating a strong commitment to social inclusion. It also explicitly includes an 'Innovation Focus'. While it does not specify green procurement criteria or EU funding, its social and innovation dimensions are very strong.
