Original Tender Description

Bedfordshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust requires the replacement of failed chillers serving Pathology (Building 48/64) and Theatres 3 & 4 (Building 39). The project has been expanded to include increased cooling capacity and the formation of a fully interconnected chilled water network to enhance resilience for critical clinical services. All works must be undertaken within a live acute hospital environment without disruption to critical cooling services. The project will be delivered within a live acute hospital environment, requiring careful planning, phased installation, and close coordination with clinical services. The system will be procured as a specialist contractor-designed solution, based on a performance specification, with full responsibility for detailed design, installation, testing, commissioning, and handover.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for pathology and theatre chillers is generally well-structured, with clear technical requirements and a defined scope. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and details on sustainability, and relies heavily on an external portal for full access.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to follow standard open competition procedures for below-threshold procurements. The CPV code is appropriate. While no specific disputes are noted, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria could be a minor procedural concern. Deadlines are provided, but their reasonableness is not fully assessable without knowing the complexity of the required documentation.

Clarity80/100

The description of the required works, including the need for a specialist contractor-designed solution and operation within a live hospital environment, is clear. Technical capabilities are well-defined. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity regarding how bids will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the tender documents themselves are not accessible with content summaries, and the AI-extracted requirements indicate a lack of specific mandatory or eligibility criteria, which could be considered missing basic information for potential bidders.

No document content available
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds listed
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed. The reliance on an external e-sourcing portal for full access and response is standard. There are no overtly tailored requirements to specific companies. The main concern is the lack of specified evaluation criteria, which could lead to subjective assessments.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies e-submission via a portal, which is practical. The contract start date and duration are provided. However, the 'Checks' section notes 'No e-submission' which contradicts the provided links, suggesting a potential inconsistency or misunderstanding in the AI's interpretation. Financing information is not explicitly detailed.

Potential contradiction regarding e-submission method
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadlines are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) appear logically sequenced. The AI-extracted requirements align with the description.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
