Invitation to tender for the provision of S4C Internal Audit Services

This tender provides basic information clearly but suffers from significant gaps in transparency, particularly regarding evaluation criteria and the lack of electronic submission, which impacts fairness and practicality.

The procedure type and CPV codes are clearly defined, and no disputes are reported. However, the absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds in the notice and the missing reveal date are minor concerns regarding full disclosure and compliance with best practices.

The overall description of the service is clear, and the AI-extracted eligibility and technical requirements are understandable, albeit high-level. A significant concern is the explicit flag that 'No evaluation criteria specified,' which severely impacts the clarity for potential bidders on how their tenders will be assessed.

Basic information, financial details, timeline, and classification are well-provided. The tender indicates attached documents for full details. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria and the high-level nature of the AI-extracted requirements indicate a significant gap in the completeness of the publicly available notice.

The tender value is disclosed, and requirements appear generic, not tailored. Full document access is implied. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria severely undermines transparency and objectivity, making it difficult for bidders to understand how to compete fairly. The lack of e-submission also presents a barrier to equal access.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the absence of electronic submission support ('No e-submission') significantly reduces practicality for bidders in a modern procurement environment. A direct document URL is also not provided in the summary.

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are logical and consistent. The main inconsistencies are the missing reveal date and the 'Liable Person' field being empty.

The tender explicitly lacks any focus on green procurement, social criteria, or innovation. It is also not EU funded, which often drives higher sustainability standards. This indicates a complete absence of sustainability considerations.
