The tender's reliance on the lowest price as the sole award criterion may encourage aggressive pricing strategies, potentially leading to abnormally low tenders.

The unspecified contract length and start date introduce uncertainty in planning and resource allocation. The requirement for high insurance coverage may be a barrier for smaller firms.
10. SME fit assessment
This tender is suitable for small to medium-sized construction firms with a turnover of at least €500,000 and the ability to secure significant insurance coverage.
