Purchase of small chemical laboratory equipment, including consumables, spare parts, and accessories for Virumaa College

This tender for chemical laboratory equipment is generally well-structured with clear objectives and transparent financial details, but it exhibits significant gaps in specific technical and financial requirements, potentially impacting value for money.

The tender demonstrates good legal compliance with reasonable deadlines, a clear procedure type (framework agreement with negotiation), and adherence to EU/national regulations, including the use of ESPD. The CPV code is acceptable but could be more precise for the specific nature of the goods.

The tender's overall objective and description are clear, and the evaluation criterion (delivery time) is unambiguously stated. However, the absence of specific technical and financial requirements beyond generic ESPD compliance creates ambiguity for bidders regarding detailed expectations.

While basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are comprehensively provided, the tender is notably incomplete regarding specific technical capability and financial requirements. For a 500,000 EUR, 48-month framework agreement for specialized equipment, these omissions are significant.

The tender promotes fairness through disclosed value, reasonable deadlines, e-procurement, and the stated intent to conclude framework agreements with up to 30 bidders. The sole evaluation criterion of delivery time, while objective, might not ensure optimal value but does not appear to be tailored to a specific company.

Electronic submission is supported, and the tender is EU funded with a clearly specified duration. The absence of an explicit contract start date and a direct URL to documents (beyond the platform link) are minor practical considerations.

All key fields are populated, and there are no detected suspensions or disputes. Dates are logical and consistent throughout the provided information.

Despite being EU funded, the tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement criteria, social aspects, or innovation focus, representing a missed opportunity for a modern public procurement.
