Care and support at six supported living sites for adults with Mental Health Difficulties

This tender, currently in the planning stage, demonstrates good initial clarity and fair market engagement practices, but lacks critical details regarding the full procurement process, such as evaluation criteria and a consistent estimated value.

The tender correctly assigns the CPV code and provides a reasonable deadline for market engagement expression of interest. There are no reported disputes. However, the procedure type and liable person are not defined, which are fundamental elements for a comprehensive tender document.

The description of the services and target beneficiaries is clear and unambiguous. Instructions for the market engagement event are well-documented. However, a significant clarity gap exists due to the absence of specified evaluation criteria for the upcoming tender.

Basic information such as title, organization, reference, estimated value, duration, and location are provided. Documents are attached. Nevertheless, crucial elements for a full tender, including the specific procedure type, full eligibility/financial/exclusion criteria, and evaluation criteria, are explicitly missing or not yet defined.

The planned market engagement event is a positive step towards promoting fairness and transparency. The estimated value is disclosed, and the use of an e-procurement portal for engagement suggests equal access. Requirements, as presented, appear generic. The primary concern for fairness in the eventual tender is the absence of objective evaluation criteria.

A direct URL to the opportunity is provided, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified. Electronic expression of interest for the market engagement is supported. However, the automated check flags 'No e-submission' for the main tender, which, if accurate, would be a significant practical drawback for bidders.

Dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes. However, a notable discrepancy exists between the estimated contract value presented in EUR (9,080,152.00) and GBP (£7,566,793.00). Additionally, the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields being 'None' indicates a lack of fully populated and consistent data.

The core purpose of this tender is to provide care and support for vulnerable adults with mental health difficulties, which inherently addresses significant social aspects. However, the documentation does not explicitly mention additional social clauses, green procurement initiatives, or an innovation focus.
