WLC Local Bus Services DPS

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System for local bus services provides essential basic information but suffers from a significant lack of detailed requirements and, critically, missing evaluation criteria, impacting clarity and fairness.

The tender correctly identifies the procedure as a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) under a restricted procedure and uses an appropriate CPV code. The extended submission deadline is suitable for a DPS. However, the absence of a reveal date and specific N/A codes for the procedure type are minor transparency issues.

While the overall description of the DPS is clear, the tender summary critically lacks specific details for mandatory exclusion, eligibility, technical, and financial requirements, deferring all to full documents. Most notably, evaluation criteria are not specified, which is a major clarity deficiency for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, organization, value, duration, and CPV code is complete. However, the tender is incomplete regarding detailed requirements for participation and, crucially, entirely lacks specified evaluation criteria. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender discloses the estimated value and states E-Procurement is enabled, with an exceptionally long submission deadline providing ample preparation time. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant fairness concern, as it introduces subjectivity and reduces transparency in the selection process.

The tender indicates E-Procurement is supported, which is positive for accessibility. The duration and estimated value are clearly stated. However, an explicit document URL is not provided in the summary, and the contract start date is missing. There is also a contradiction between 'E-Procurement' and the automated check's 'No e-submission' flag.

The core data, including dates, status, and financial information, is largely consistent and logical for a DPS. There are no reported disputes. Minor inconsistencies include missing 'Liable Person' and N/A codes for procedure type, as well as the e-procurement contradiction.

The tender summary does not include any explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also noted as not being EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
