Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear scope for gas supply but suffers from critical omissions, notably the lack of accessible full tender documents and specified evaluation criteria, significantly impacting fairness and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance85/100

The tender clearly defines the open procedure and uses appropriate CPV codes. The mention of PCS-T and ESPD (Scotland) indicates adherence to national procurement regulations. No disputes or suspensions are reported. The missing reveal date is a data point issue, but the submission period is reasonable.

Missing reveal date (data point)
Clarity60/100

The description of the required services, including supply, delivery, uplifting, and disposal of gas cylinders, is clear and unambiguous. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria is a significant drawback, making it difficult for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness50/100

While basic information like title, organization, value, and duration is provided, the critical absence of content for the four listed tender documents renders the tender incomplete. Furthermore, the lack of specified evaluation criteria is a major omission.

No document content available
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness45/100

The lack of accessible full tender documents and the absence of transparent evaluation criteria severely compromise the fairness of this procurement. Bidders cannot adequately prepare or understand the basis of award, creating an uneven playing field.

No document content available
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality60/100

Electronic submission is implied through the use of the Public Contracts Scotland - Tender portal (PCS-T), and the contract duration is clearly stated. However, the lack of accessible full tender documents and a specified contract start date present practical challenges for potential bidders.

No document content available
No contract start date known
Data Consistency80/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and duration are populated and consistent. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for 'Liable Person' and 'Code' for procedure type, and a missing reveal date.

Liable Person field empty
Code fields for Type/Procedure empty
Sustainability55/100

The tender includes a positive environmental aspect by requiring 'environmentally compliant disposal of all cylinders'. However, it does not explicitly incorporate broader green procurement criteria, social aspects, or an innovation focus.

Limited broader sustainability criteria (e.g., social, innovation)

Strengths

Clear description of services required
Open procedure and use of e-procurement platform (PCS-T)
Value and duration clearly specified
Includes an environmental requirement for disposal

Concerns

Critical absence of full tender document content
No evaluation criteria specified
Missing contract start date
Limited broader sustainability focus

Recommendations

1. Ensure all tender documents are fully accessible and contain comprehensive information.
2. Clearly define and publish all evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness.
3. Consider integrating broader sustainability (social, innovation) criteria into future tenders.
