Flintshire County Council Out of hours response and supervision for Highway services

This tender provides a clear service description and basic information but suffers from significant omissions regarding evaluation criteria, eligibility, and financial requirements, which severely impact its fairness, clarity, and legal compliance.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and there are no reported disputes. However, the absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and crucially, evaluation criteria, represents significant gaps in legal compliance with standard procurement regulations.

The description of the required services and technical capabilities is clear and unambiguous. However, the overall clarity for potential bidders is severely hampered by the absence of specified evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements, and financial requirements, making it difficult to understand the full scope of the tender and how bids will be assessed.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and CPV code are well-populated. However, the tender is incomplete due to the critical absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria, which are essential for a comprehensive tender package.

The tender's fairness is significantly compromised by the explicit absence of evaluation criteria, preventing bidders from understanding the basis of selection. While the value is disclosed and requirements appear generic, the reported lack of e-submission (if accurate) could also hinder equal access for all potential suppliers.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the reported lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially increasing administrative burden for bidders and the contracting authority.

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. However, there is a notable inconsistency in the estimated value, with the basic information stating 340,704.00 EUR while the 'Official PDF Version' summary mentions £283,920 (approximately 330,000 EUR). The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender explicitly lacks any mention of green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, indicating a complete absence of sustainability considerations in the procurement process.
