NPCC National Cybercrime Training Programme

This tender for cybercrime training exhibits significant deficiencies in fairness, completeness, and data consistency, primarily due to missing evaluation criteria, lack of e-submission, and an illogical contract start date.

While the CPV code is appropriate and no disputes are noted, the absence of a reveal date, generic procedure codes (N/A), and lack of specific mandatory exclusion grounds raise concerns regarding full legal transparency and compliance with detailed disclosure requirements.

The project description and technical requirements are generally clear. However, the critical omission of evaluation criteria severely impacts the overall clarity for potential bidders, making it difficult to understand how proposals will be assessed.

Basic tender information is present, but the tender is incomplete due to the crucial absence of evaluation criteria. Additionally, only one of the four listed documents has a content summary, suggesting potential gaps in accessible detailed information.

Fairness is significantly compromised by the absence of evaluation criteria, which prevents objective and transparent assessment. The lack of e-submission creates barriers to equal access, and the requirement to deliver "existing courses developed by the NPCC Cybercrime Team" (originally with a private contractor) raises concerns about potential tailoring that could limit competition.

The tender lacks support for electronic submission, which is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. While contract duration and value are clear, the absence of e-submission complicates the bidding process for potential suppliers.

A major inconsistency is the contract start date being identical to the submission deadline, which is illogical and impractical for any procurement process requiring evaluation. The "Liable Person" field is also unpopulated.

The tender does not include any explicit green, social, or innovation criteria, nor is it indicated as EU-funded. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability objectives into the procurement.
