Election Printing Services – Poll Cards, Ballot Papers, Postal Packs and Associated Documents

This tender for election printing services is clear on its scope and technical requirements but suffers from significant transparency and fairness issues, primarily due to missing evaluation criteria and a classified estimated value.

The procedure type and CPV code are correctly defined. However, the absence of a tender reveal date prevents a full assessment of compliance with minimum notice periods, and the classified estimated value, along with the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the summary, are notable legal compliance concerns.

The description of services and technical requirements is clear and unambiguous. However, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria is a major clarity deficiency, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

Basic information, deadlines, duration, and location are provided. Nevertheless, the tender is incomplete due to the classified estimated value, the explicit lack of evaluation criteria, and the absence of detailed financial requirements and mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary.

The classified estimated value and the complete absence of evaluation criteria significantly undermine the fairness and transparency of the procurement process. The lack of e-submission also presents a barrier to equal access for all potential bidders.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, which is practical for planning. However, the absence of electronic submission capabilities and the classified estimated value pose practical challenges for bidders in preparing and submitting their proposals.

The provided dates (submission deadline, contract start) are logical and consistent with each other. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the missing tender reveal date and the empty 'Liable Person' field represent minor data gaps.

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social, or innovation aspects. It is also not EU funded, indicating a lack of focus on broader sustainability objectives.
