Invitation To Tender - Provision of security services at events in The Apex & Athenaeum, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk- Contract Duration – 01 May 2026 to 31st March 2028 (with options to extend into 31 March 2030)

This tender for security services is generally well-structured with clear basic information and a disclosed value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on e-submission, impacting its practicality and potentially fairness.

The tender appears to comply with basic legal requirements, including a clear CPV code and a defined procedure. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered tight by some. No disputes are noted. The procedure is 'Below threshold - open competition', which is a valid approach for this value.

The description of the service required is clear, and the location is specified. The requirement to express interest to gain full access to documentation is also clear. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria means bidders cannot fully understand how their submissions will be assessed.

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the lack of available content for the tender documents is a significant omission, preventing a full assessment of completeness. The contract start date is specified.

The tender is open competition, and the value is disclosed, promoting fairness. The requirement to express interest to gain access is standard. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria could lead to subjective assessments, and the absence of explicit e-submission details might imply a less modern, potentially less fair process.

The tender requires expressing interest to gain access to documentation, which is a common but not always the most practical approach. The absence of explicit e-submission details is a concern. The contract start date is clear, and financing information is implied by the estimated value.

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadlines are populated. Dates are logical, with the contract start date following the submission deadline. No suspensions or disputes are indicated.

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