OutSystems Services - Dynamic Purchasing System

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for OutSystems services, demonstrating good practices in transparency and social/innovation focus. However, significant concerns exist regarding the completeness and clarity of documentation, particularly the absence of explicit evaluation criteria for DPS entry and mandatory exclusion grounds.

The tender defines a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), which is a compliant procedure for ongoing services. The CPV code is appropriate, and no disputes are noted. However, the absence of a reveal date and explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds are notable legal compliance issues. The 'Restricted' classification for a DPS is slightly confusing but clarified by the description.

The description of the DPS, its lots, and the scope of services is generally clear. The AI-extracted requirements are understandable. However, the critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria for entry into the DPS significantly impacts clarity, making it difficult for potential suppliers to understand the assessment process.

Basic information such as title, organization, value, duration, and CPV code is complete. However, the tender lacks detailed information on mandatory exclusion grounds, comprehensive eligibility/financial criteria beyond general statements, and crucially, the evaluation criteria for DPS entry. The full application documents are not explicitly linked.

The DPS structure allows for continuous entry, and the submission deadline is very reasonable, promoting fairness. E-procurement is enabled, and the value is disclosed. However, the lack of explicit evaluation criteria for DPS entry is a significant fairness concern. The specific requirement for 'OutSystems Services' inherently limits competition, though it may be a legitimate technical need.

Electronic submission is supported, which is a positive for practicality. However, a direct URL to the full tender documents is not provided in the summary, which is a practical hurdle for interested parties. The exact start date of the DPS itself is not explicitly stated, though its duration is.

The key fields are mostly populated, and dates are logical and consistent (e.g., submission deadline is well in the future from today's date). There are no noted disputes or suspensions. Minor gaps include an empty 'Liable Person' field and N/A codes for procedure type, but these do not significantly impact overall consistency.

The tender explicitly includes 'Social Criteria' and 'Innovation Focus' as characteristics, with a concrete requirement for the 'Real Living Wage' in call-off contracts. While 'green procurement' is not explicitly mentioned, these aspects contribute positively to sustainability.
