Tender Quality Score

This tender for school cleaning services is generally well-structured, with clear descriptions and financial information. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and detailed submission requirements, impacting its completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears compliant with general procurement regulations, with a clear CPV code and no reported disputes. The procedure is specified as 'Competitive flexible procedure', suggesting a defined, albeit flexible, legal framework. The deadline, while potentially tight given the contract start date, does not immediately indicate a legal non-compliance without further context on typical notice periods for this type of procurement in the UK.

Clarity80/100

The description of the services required is clear, outlining the need for flexible, best-value, and innovative cleaning services. The organizational context and contract duration are well-defined. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and detailed submission requirements introduces ambiguity for potential bidders.

Missing evaluation criteria
No specific submission requirements listed
Completeness70/100

Key information such as the organization, title, reference, estimated value, and contract duration are present. However, the lack of detailed submission requirements and the absence of content in the tender documents prevent a full assessment of completeness regarding operational requirements and evaluation procedures.

No document content available
Missing specific submission requirements
Fairness85/100

The tender provides access to essential information like the estimated value and contract duration, fostering a degree of fairness. The 'Competitive flexible procedure' and stated aim for 'best value' suggest an intent for objective selection. No specific company requirements are evident.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies an e-submission system ('active' status suggests it's online). However, the contract start date matching the submission deadline is highly impractical and likely an error. The absence of information on financing and limited details on how to access tender documents (beyond stating they are available) reduce practicality.

Contract start date matches submission deadline
No specific financing information provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and duration are populated logically. The dates provided, while potentially problematic in terms of practicality (start date vs. deadline), are internally consistent within the tender notice itself. No suspensions or disputes are noted.

Sustainability50/100

The tender mentions a 'proactive approach to service development and innovation', which touches upon innovative aspects. However, there are no explicit mentions of green procurement criteria or social aspects, limiting its score in this category. The tender is not explicitly stated as EU funded.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of services and organizational context
Specified CPV code and estimated value
Defined contract duration and option to extend

Concerns

No content available for tender documents
