Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) of Temporary Agency, Contractor and Interim Agencies for Preferred Supplier Listing (PSL) Status for Luton Borough Council - Y21001

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System for recruitment services, demonstrating good clarity in its service description and requirements, but suffers from significant omissions regarding evaluation criteria, detailed financial requirements, and the lack of e-submission.

The tender correctly identifies a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) but inconsistently labels the procedure as 'Restricted,' which is a procedural misclassification. While the CPV code is appropriate, the summary lacks explicit details on mandatory exclusion grounds, which are fundamental for legal compliance.

The description of the services and the eligibility/technical requirements are clear. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria, detailed financial requirements, and comprehensive mandatory exclusion grounds significantly diminishes the overall clarity for potential bidders.

Basic tender information, estimated value, and duration are provided. However, critical elements such as detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, specific financial requirements (e.g., turnover, insurance), and explicit evaluation criteria are noted as missing from the provided information.

The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements appear generic, not tailored. The long submission period for the DPS is fair. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria creates a significant transparency deficit, potentially undermining objective assessment. The lack of e-submission also presents a barrier to equal access.

The tender specifies a clear duration and estimated value. However, the absence of electronic submission capabilities is a significant practical drawback for a modern procurement process, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, there is a notable inconsistency where the tender is described as a 'Dynamic Purchasing System' in the title and description, but the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields state 'Restricted procedure.'

The tender information does not indicate any focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, nor is it identified as EU-funded. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability objectives into a significant public contract.
