Original Tender Description

This opportunity is for the Kingswood High Street Regeneration Project; a shopfront improvement scheme covering 44 commercial properties across Kingswood High Street, Regent Street, and Two-Mile Hill Road. Of these, 37 properties include ground-floor shopfront works, with an additional 7 properties involving only upper facade painting and redecoration. The scope of works is specific to each property but typically includes the removal of existing signboards; installation of new painted timber fascia signboards with painted graphics; new light fixtures; leadwork; replacement of awnings, doors, and glazing; and repairs and redecoration to upper floors. South Gloucestershire Council has secured funding from the West of England Combined Authority to deliver shopfront improvement works to commercial properties across Kingswood High Street. This funding forms part of a wider masterplan to enhance Kingswood Town Centre. The shopfront improvement works marks the first phase of this investment programme, with the aim of transforming the town centre into an attractive, vibrant, safe, and family-friendly destination where the community can come together to socialise, eat, drink, shop, and work. Jan Kattein Architects have been appointed to deliver this project. The practice has delivered improvements to over 30 high streets and completed works to more than 400 shopfronts across the UK. In 2024, Jan Kattein Architects undertook a prioritisation strategy across Kingswood, assessing which areas and shopfronts would have the greatest impact if improved and which would benefit most from the proposed works. Following this, a series of engagement sessions and consultations were carried out with shopfront business owners. The designs have been developed collaboratively with these stakeholders, with the intention of supporting business growth and increasing footfall. For all 44 commercial properties, shop owners and landlords have entered into legal agreements with South Gloucestershire Council confirming their consent to the proposed works. The necessary planning permission and/or advertisement consent has been secured for each property by Jan Kattein Architects. Bidders should tender for works with an anticipated contract value of £900,000 (nine hundred thousand pounds). This figure is exclusive of the Council's contingency allowance.

Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear project description but critically lacks evaluation criteria and e-submission capabilities, significantly impacting transparency and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance70/100

The procedure type and CPV code are clearly defined, and the submission deadline (28 days from today) is reasonable for preparation. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant legal compliance issue, as is the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the AI summary.

Missing evaluation criteria
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly stated
Clarity65/100

The project description is exceptionally clear and detailed, outlining the scope of works and project background. The AI-extracted requirements are also clear. However, the fundamental absence of evaluation criteria makes it unclear for bidders how their proposals will be assessed and what constitutes a winning bid.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness60/100

Basic information, estimated value, duration, and location are all provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing evaluation criteria. Furthermore, the listed 'TENDER DOCUMENTS' are primarily administrative/OCDS data, and it's unclear if all necessary technical specifications, forms, and a draft contract are readily available or implied.

Missing evaluation criteria
Ambiguity regarding the full set of tender documents (e.g., technical specifications, forms)
Fairness50/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the deadline for preparation is reasonable. However, the absence of evaluation criteria severely compromises fairness, as bidders cannot understand the basis of assessment. The lack of e-submission and a direct document URL also create barriers to equal access and participation.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission supported
Practicality55/100

The contract start date, financing information, and duration are clearly specified. Nevertheless, the absence of electronic submission (e-submission) and a direct URL for tender documents are significant practical drawbacks for potential bidders in a modern procurement context.

No e-submission supported
No document URL provided
Data Consistency80/100

Dates (submission, start) and financial values (EUR/GBP conversion) are logical and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for 'Liable Person' and specific procedure codes, and the non-explicit statement of mandatory exclusion grounds.

Liable Person field is empty
Type and Procedure codes are empty
Sustainability40/100

While the project aims for social outcomes (town centre regeneration), the tender documentation does not explicitly include green procurement, social criteria (beyond the project's inherent goal), or innovation focus in its requirements for bidders. This represents a missed opportunity to leverage procurement for broader sustainability goals.

Not green procurement
No explicit social criteria for bidders

Strengths

Clear and detailed project description
Estimated value, duration, and contract start date are well-defined
Funding source is identified
CPV code is correctly assigned
Technical capability requirements are specific to the project scope

Concerns

Critical absence of evaluation criteria
Lack of electronic submission (e-submission)
No direct URL for tender documents
No explicit green, social, or innovation procurement criteria
Ambiguity regarding the full set of tender documents available to bidders

Recommendations

1. Publish comprehensive evaluation criteria immediately to ensure fairness and clarity.
2. Implement an e-submission platform for this and future tenders to enhance practicality and equal access.
3. Provide a direct, easily accessible URL to all complete tender documents.
