Invitation to Tender for Asbestos Surveying, Sampling, Air Testing and Consultancy Services

This tender demonstrates good practical execution with clear e-tendering instructions but suffers from critical deficiencies in transparency, primarily due to the absence of evaluation criteria and a missing tender reveal date.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes appropriately. However, the absence of a tender reveal date is a significant transparency issue, and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds are not detailed in the provided information, which are standard legal requirements.

The service description and specific requirements (eligibility, technical, financial, submission) are clearly articulated. However, the critical omission of evaluation criteria severely impacts the clarity, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

Basic information, financial details, timeline, and classification are largely complete. However, the tender is incomplete without specified evaluation criteria and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided text. The 'Required: No' for the main PDF document is a minor metadata inconsistency.

The tender promotes fairness through full document access, disclosed value, and the use of an e-procurement system. Requirements appear generic. Nevertheless, the complete absence of evaluation criteria fundamentally undermines fairness, as bidders lack transparent rules for competition.

The tender excels in practicality, providing clear instructions for the In-tend e-Tendering System, including a URL and support contact. The contract start date and duration are well-defined, and electronic submission is fully supported.

Key fields are consistently populated, including logical dates and consistent financial values (EUR/GBP). There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The explicit description of e-submission contradicts an automated check flag, but the description is clear.

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is not EU funded, which often drives higher sustainability standards.
