Tender Quality Score

This tender for Minor Aids and Adaptations Delivery is generally well-structured with a clear description of services and a defined e-procurement process. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and details on sustainability aspects.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender benefits from a clear CPV code (45000000 - Construction work) and a specified open procedure. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be perceived as short given the complexity of potential works. Regulatory compliance is assumed given it's a public authority tender, but specific details are absent. There are no indications of disputes or regulatory issues.

Clarity80/100

The description of 'Minor Aids and Adaptations' is detailed, listing specific items and works. The definition of a 'Minor Adaptation' is clear (£1,500.00 limit for labour and materials). The e-tendering system is well-explained, guiding potential bidders on registration and submission. However, evaluation criteria are not specified, which impacts clarity for bidders on how their submissions will be judged.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic tender information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date are present. The description of services is comprehensive. However, the lack of available document content (summaries are 0) and the absence of specific financial requirements beyond the overall contract value are noted.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is open, suggesting fairness. The use of an e-tendering platform (In-tend) with clear instructions promotes accessibility. The estimated value is disclosed. Requirements are generally objective and related to the service delivery, with no obvious tailoring to specific companies. The main concern is the lack of transparency regarding evaluation criteria.

Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The e-submission process via the In-tend portal is clearly outlined, making it practical for bidders to participate. The contract start date is specified. However, financing information is not detailed, and the absence of specific details within the tender documents impacts overall practicality for a thorough assessment.

Financing information not detailed
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and dates are consistently populated. The tender status is active, and there are no reported disputes. The timeline provided (submission deadline, contract start date) appears logically sequenced.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding in the tender description or requirements. This suggests a lack of focus on these important sustainability considerations.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
