Paediatric autism assessment

This tender for paediatric autism assessment is generally functional for a below-threshold procurement, but suffers from a lack of detailed evaluation criteria and technical specifications, impacting clarity and fairness.

The tender appears compliant with basic legal requirements for a below-threshold open competition, including clearly defined procedure type and CPV codes. The 10-day submission period is acceptable for this type of tender. However, the absence of a clear 'reveal date' and the lack of detailed tender specifications in the provided summaries are minor transparency concerns.

While the service description is clear, the tender significantly lacks clarity regarding the 'specified quality standards' and the detailed evaluation criteria beyond their weightings. Bidders cannot fully understand how their proposals will be assessed, which is a major deficiency.

Basic information such as title, organization, value, and deadlines is present. However, critical documents like detailed technical specifications, terms of reference, and comprehensive evaluation criteria are not evident from the provided summaries, making the tender incomplete for a thorough bid preparation.

The tender benefits from an open procedure, disclosed value, and e-procurement via MultiQuote. Requirements appear generic, not tailored. However, the lack of detailed and objective evaluation criteria significantly compromises transparency and fairness, as bidders cannot fully understand the basis of award decisions.

Electronic submission is supported via the MultiQuote platform, and the contract start date and estimated value are clearly stated. There is a minor inconsistency in the contract duration details (2 months vs. Feb-March with 12-month extension), but overall, practical elements are well-addressed.

Key fields are mostly populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Dates are logical. The slight discrepancy between the 'Contract Duration' (2 months) and the more detailed 'initial period until March 2026' (1 month) with a possible extension is a minor inconsistency.

The tender explicitly includes 'Social Values criteria' with a 10% weighting, which is a positive aspect for sustainability. However, there is no mention of green procurement or innovation focus.
