Dynamic Purchasing System for Retrofit Programme Delivery Services

This tender for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for retrofit services demonstrates strong sustainability and social objectives but suffers from significant deficiencies in legal clarity, completeness, and fairness due to missing critical information like evaluation criteria and specific mandatory exclusion grounds.

The tender presents a contradiction by classifying a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) as a 'Restricted procedure', which is fundamentally incorrect as a DPS is an open procedure. The absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds and a missing reveal date are also significant compliance issues. While CPV codes are appropriate and no disputes are noted, these procedural and informational gaps are concerning.

The project description and objectives are clear and unambiguous, detailing the purpose of the DPS and its target beneficiaries. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria for both DPS admission and subsequent call-offs significantly reduces clarity. The statement 'No specific financial requirements are detailed' also leaves ambiguity regarding financial assessment.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code is well-provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit lack of evaluation criteria, specific financial requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds. The 'Required: No' for the official PDF document is also confusing.

The absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as it can lead to an opaque and potentially biased selection process. The lack of e-submission also creates a barrier to equal access for all potential bidders. While the value is disclosed and requirements do not appear tailored, these omissions significantly impact the perceived fairness.

The tender lacks support for electronic submission, which is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. A document URL is not explicitly provided. However, the contract duration and financing information (Green Home Grant LAD Phase 2 Funding) are clearly specified, which aids practicality.

There is a notable inconsistency in classifying a Dynamic Purchasing System as a 'Restricted procedure'. The 'Liable Person' field is empty, and the 'Missing reveal date' also indicates a data gap. Otherwise, key fields are populated, and dates are logical.

The tender scores highly on sustainability, explicitly focusing on 'domestic retrofit programme delivery' and 'low-income households', aligning with green procurement and social criteria. The mention of 'Green Home Grant LAD Phase 2 Funding' reinforces its environmental objectives. While innovation focus is not explicit and it's not EU funded, its core purpose is inherently sustainable.
