Seafront Micro-venue

This is a preliminary market engagement notice for a seafront micro-venue refurbishment project. While the project description is clear and requirements for this stage are fair, significant procedural and data completeness issues exist, particularly regarding the tender type and value disclosure.

The tender's legal compliance is moderate. The primary concern is the 'Type: None' and 'Procedure: None' classification, which is a significant procedural oversight even for a preliminary market engagement. CPV codes are appropriate, and there are no disputes. The value being classified also raises minor transparency concerns.

Clarity is good for a preliminary market engagement. The project description is detailed and unambiguous, clearly outlining the scope of refurbishment. Requirements for participation in the PME are well-documented and understandable. Evaluation criteria are not specified, which is expected at this preliminary stage.

Completeness is moderate. While basic information, deadlines, and duration are provided, the critical 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are empty. The estimated value is classified, which is a notable omission for potential bidders. Requirements for the PME are defined, but the overall metadata is incomplete.

Fairness is generally good. Full document access is provided, and the eligibility and technical capability requirements for the PME are generic and do not appear tailored. Electronic submission via a portal supports equal access. However, the classified estimated value reduces transparency and may hinder some potential bidders from assessing the opportunity fairly.

Practicality is moderate. Electronic submission is supported via the Proactis portal, and the contract start date and duration are known. However, the lack of a disclosed estimated value can make it difficult for potential suppliers to practically assess the opportunity's scale and resource commitment.

Data consistency is moderate. While dates are logical and there are no disputes, the critical 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are unpopulated ('None'), and the estimated value is classified, indicating significant gaps in core data fields. This impacts the overall consistency and completeness of the tender metadata.

Sustainability aspects are limited. While the project involves the refurbishment and conservation of existing buildings, which inherently has some sustainable elements, there are no explicit green procurement, social, or innovation criteria mentioned in the tender documentation. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate broader sustainability goals.
