Tender Quality Score

This is a planning notice for a substantial IT services procurement, effectively informing eligible framework suppliers of an upcoming opportunity. However, its quality as a full tender is significantly impacted by the restriction of competition to a specific framework and the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and sustainability considerations.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance85/100

The tender utilizes a legally compliant framework agreement (CCS Technology Services 4) for a UK government procurement. The CPV code is appropriate, and no disputes are noted. As a planning notice, it meets preliminary disclosure requirements.

Clarity65/100

The notice clearly communicates its purpose and the planned procurement route. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and detailed performance conditions for the future competition reduces overall clarity for potential bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria
Missing performance conditions
Completeness60/100

The notice provides essential basic information, estimated value, and planned timelines. While complete for a planning notice, it lacks the detailed requirements, full tender specifications, and comprehensive evaluation criteria expected for a complete tender package.

Missing detailed requirements
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness40/100

The primary concern for fairness is the explicit restriction of eligibility to existing suppliers on a specific Crown Commercial Services framework (RM6190, Lot 2.5). This significantly limits competition. The absence of transparent evaluation criteria further diminishes fairness.

Restricted competition to specific framework suppliers
Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality60/100

Key dates (contract start, duration) and estimated value are provided. However, the lack of explicit confirmation for electronic submission and the absence of a direct document URL (though documents are attached) present minor practical drawbacks.

No explicit confirmation of e-submission
No direct document URL
Data Consistency90/100

The provided data is largely consistent and logical, with no noted disputes or suspensions. Dates are coherent, and most key fields are populated, indicating good data integrity for a planning notice.

Minor missing fields (e.g., Liable Person, specific procedure codes)
Sustainability30/100

The tender notice does not include any explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability objectives into a significant public contract.

No green, social, or innovation criteria

Strengths

Clear communication of planning intent
Use of a compliant framework
Transparent value disclosure
Logical timelines
Good data consistency

Concerns

Restricted competition to framework suppliers
Absence of detailed evaluation criteria
Lack of sustainability considerations
No explicit e-submission confirmation

Recommendations

1. Provide detailed evaluation criteria in the full tender
2. Explicitly confirm e-submission methods for the actual competition
3. Integrate sustainability (green, social, innovation) requirements into the tender specifications
