Provision of Services for Drugs & Alcohol Testing and Medication Advice Line

This tender presents a clear service description but suffers from significant deficiencies in evaluation criteria, procedural clarity, and practical implementation, notably an illogical contract start date.

The tender defines the CPV code and organization clearly, but the procedure type is vaguely described as 'Restricted' and 'Competitive flexible procedure' without specific codes, raising questions about full compliance. Mandatory exclusion grounds are mentioned but not detailed.

The service description and technical requirements are clear and well-defined. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly hinders bidders' understanding of how proposals will be assessed, impacting overall clarity.

Basic information, estimated value, and contract duration are provided. Technical requirements are comprehensive. Nevertheless, the tender is incomplete due to the missing evaluation criteria and lack of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds.

The absence of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises the objectivity and transparency of the selection process. Furthermore, the lack of e-submission and a document URL limits equal access and transparency, impacting overall fairness.

The tender lacks practical features such as e-submission and a direct document URL. A major practical flaw is the contract start date being identical to the submission deadline, which is unrealistic for contract award and commencement.

Most key fields are populated, and there are no reported disputes. However, the critical inconsistency lies in the contract start date being precisely the same as the submission deadline, which is illogical and indicates a data error.

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, representing a missed opportunity for a contract of this scale and duration.
