Richard Hale School - Cleaning Tender

This tender for cleaning services at Richard Hale School is generally well-structured, with clear requirements and a defined process. However, it lacks explicit sustainability considerations and some procedural details could be clearer.

The tender adheres to standard procurement practices with a clear CPV code and a competitive flexible procedure. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline relative to the contract start date could be tighter. No disputes are noted. The procedure is compliant with general procurement regulations.

The description of services required is clear, outlining the need for excellent cleaning, proactive management, and staff development. The two-stage evaluation process is explained, though specific criteria for Stage 1 progression beyond a 60% score are not detailed. The link to further school information is helpful.

Most basic information is present, including estimated value, duration, and CPV code. However, the tender documents themselves are not available for review, which significantly impacts completeness. The contract start date is listed as the submission deadline, which is illogical.

The tender discloses the estimated value and outlines a clear evaluation split (35% price, 65% quality) for Stage 2, promoting fairness. The competitive flexible procedure with a defined number of bidders progressing to Stage 2 is standard. No overtly tailored requirements favouring specific companies are apparent.

The tender utilizes an e-sourcing portal for submission, which is practical. However, the contract start date being the same as the submission deadline is impractical and illogical. Financing information is not explicitly detailed beyond the contract value and fixed-price nature.

Key fields like title, reference, organization, value, and CPV are populated. There are no noted suspensions or disputes. The primary inconsistency is the contract start date being identical to the submission deadline, which is illogical.

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, innovation focus, or EU funding. While innovation is welcomed in service delivery, it is not a formal evaluation criterion. This area is underdeveloped.
