Leasing of Rail Wagons

This tender for rail wagon leasing exhibits critical deficiencies, primarily stemming from a past contract start date and the complete absence of evaluation criteria, rendering it legally problematic and practically unworkable.

The most critical legal flaw is the specified 'Contract Start' date of 2022-04-10, which is in the past relative to today's date (2026-01-18). This renders the tender legally unviable as presented. Additionally, the explicit absence of evaluation criteria is a significant breach of transparency requirements in public procurement. The procedure type and CPV code are correctly identified.

While the AI-extracted requirements are clear and standard, the overall clarity is severely hampered by the explicit lack of specified evaluation criteria. Bidders cannot clearly understand how their proposals will be assessed. The description itself is minimal.

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the explicit absence of evaluation criteria. The 'Contract Start' date being in the past also suggests a critical piece of information is either incorrect or missing crucial context. The 'Required: No' for the main PDF document is unusual and suggests potential incompleteness in the provided tender package overview.

The absence of evaluation criteria significantly undermines the fairness of the procurement process, as bidders lack transparent information on how their offers will be judged. While the requirements themselves appear generic and not tailored, this fundamental lack of transparency is a major concern. There's also a contradiction regarding e-submission ('E-Procurement' characteristic vs. 'No e-submission' automated check), which could impact equal access if e-submission is indeed not supported.

The tender is highly impractical due to the 'Contract Start' date being in the past (2022-04-10). It is impossible to execute a contract that commenced prior to the tender's publication or even today's date. This makes the tender unworkable as currently described. The lack of an explicit document URL in the basic information and the e-submission contradiction further reduce practicality.

There are several critical data inconsistencies. The 'Contract Start' date (2022-04-10) is illogical as it precedes today's date (2026-01-18) and the tender's implied reference year (2023). The estimated value is stated as 3,000,000.00 EUR in the basic info but £3,000,000 in the document summary, which is a significant currency discrepancy. Furthermore, there's a contradiction between 'Characteristics: E-Procurement' and 'AUTOMATED CHECK RESULTS: No e-submission'. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a complete lack of sustainability considerations.
