Tender Quality Score

This is a pre-tender market engagement notice for a homecare framework, providing indicative requirements and commissioning intentions. While generally clear and well-structured, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and financial details, and the submission deadline is distant.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice adheres to general procurement principles by specifying a CPV code and outlining a competitive flexible procedure. However, the absence of a reveal date and specific evaluation criteria, coupled with a very distant submission deadline, slightly impacts its legal compliance score. The procedure type is listed as 'Restricted (Code: )' which is incomplete.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The description clearly outlines the commissioning intentions, the strengths-based model, and the division into lots. Potential provider requirements are detailed, although they are explicitly stated as indicative. The service specification and client groups are well-defined.

Completeness70/100

Key information such as the title, reference, organization, and CPV code is present. The contract duration and start date are specified. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and no tender documents with content are available, which limits completeness.

Estimated value not disclosed
No document content available
Fairness85/100

The requirements, such as CQC rating and local presence, are objective and generally applicable to a broad range of providers. The restriction on holding a maximum of four zones is a common practice to ensure wider participation. The notice is for market awareness, implying a fair approach to early engagement.

Practicality65/100

The notice indicates a future tender but does not provide details on e-submission methods or a direct URL for documents at this stage. Financing information is not disclosed. The contract start date is provided, but the lack of immediate access to full documentation and submission details limits practicality.

No e-submission details provided
No document URL provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields like title, reference, organization, CPV, and dates are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The timeline appears consistent, with a contract start date well after the submission deadline.

Sustainability50/100

The notice does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. While the strengths-based model implies a focus on social inclusion, this is not detailed as a formal sustainability criterion.

No explicit green procurement mentioned
No explicit social criteria mentioned
