FW Works - SGN Major Works (MW) DPS.MW.727 & Intermediate Pressure (IP) DPS.IP.727 Refurbishment Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) - Multisite 0326

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System for major gas network refurbishment works, providing clear scope and technical requirements but lacking initial transparency on detailed evaluation criteria and specific financial requirements, and notably missing e-submission capabilities.

The tender clearly defines the procedure type (DPS, restricted procedure) and assigns an appropriate CPV code. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the initial notice lacks a clear reveal date and detailed evaluation criteria, which are typically provided in full procurement documents after registration, impacting initial transparency.

The description of the works, including the scope for Major Works and Intermediate Pressure, is highly clear and unambiguous. Technical capability requirements are well-documented and understandable. The main clarity gap is the absence of specific financial requirements and detailed evaluation criteria in this initial notice, which are stated to be in full procurement documents.

The tender provides all essential basic information, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and location. While technical requirements are outlined, the detailed evaluation criteria and specific financial requirements are not fully defined in this initial notice, impacting overall completeness.

The tender discloses the estimated value and the technical requirements appear generic and not tailored. However, the absence of e-submission capabilities is a significant concern for equal access and modern procurement practices. The lack of detailed evaluation criteria in this initial notice also reduces transparency for potential bidders.

The lack of electronic submission support is a major practical drawback, increasing administrative burden for suppliers. While contract start and duration are clear, an explicit document URL is not provided, requiring registration for further details.

Key dates such as contract start and submission deadline are logical and consistent with the DPS nature and reference year. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include a missing liable person and N/A codes for procedure type. The missing reveal date is also a data gap.

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability considerations into a significant public works contract.
