Redhill Academy Trust - electricity supplies

This tender establishes a Dynamic Market for electricity supplies, offering a flexible and open approach to procurement, but lacks detailed qualification criteria in the public notice, which impacts clarity and fairness.

The tender aims to comply with the UK Procurement Act 2023 by establishing a Dynamic Market. However, the public notice lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed selection criteria for qualification, which are fundamental for legal transparency. The classification as 'Restricted' type is also inconsistent with the 'Dynamic Market' description.

The description of the Dynamic Market concept is clear and well-explained. However, the specific 'membership conditions' and qualification requirements (eligibility, technical, financial) are not detailed in the provided information, making it difficult for potential suppliers to understand what is required for qualification.

Basic information such as title, organization, value, and timeline is complete. However, crucial details regarding the qualification criteria for the Dynamic Market, including mandatory exclusion grounds, specific eligibility, technical, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria, are not provided in the public notice or document summaries.

The Dynamic Market model inherently promotes fairness by being open to new suppliers at any time and enabling e-procurement. The value is disclosed. However, the absence of explicit and transparent qualification criteria in the public notice could lead to subjective assessment and reduces initial transparency for potential bidders.

Electronic submission is supported via a dedicated portal, and relevant URLs are provided. The contract start date and duration are specified for future contracts. However, the lack of detailed qualification criteria upfront makes it impractical for suppliers to assess their suitability without registering and potentially accessing further documentation.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, the 'Type: Restricted' classification is inconsistent with the description of an open 'Dynamic Market.' The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability considerations.
