Tender Quality Score

This tender establishes a Dynamic Purchasing System with commendable strategic objectives for residential and nursing care, but its quality is severely undermined by the complete absence of tender documents and critical detailed requirements.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

Legal compliance is questionable due to the complete absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds and the lack of comprehensive tender documents, which are fundamental for a legally sound procurement process.

Absence of detailed mandatory exclusion grounds.
Lack of comprehensive tender documents (0 documents attached).
Clarity40/100

Clarity is very poor. Without any tender documents, bidders lack essential information. Key requirements like 'relevant regulatory framework' and 'strong presence in their areas of operation' are vague, and the geographical scope (NUTS code) is missing.

No tender documents available.
Vague eligibility and technical requirements (e.g., 'relevant regulatory framework', 'strong presence').
Completeness83/100

The tender is critically incomplete. The absence of any attached documents means crucial information such as full specifications, terms and conditions, application forms, and detailed evaluation criteria is entirely missing.

Zero documents attached, rendering the tender fundamentally incomplete.
Absence of specific financial requirements (e.g., minimum turnover, insurance).
Fairness80/100

While the DPS structure inherently promotes market access and fairness by allowing continuous entry, the lack of detailed requirements and evaluation criteria compromises fair competition. Bidders cannot adequately understand how their applications will be assessed.

Lack of clear and detailed evaluation criteria for technical and qualitative requirements.
Absence of comprehensive tender documents hinders equal understanding for all potential bidders.
Practicality40/100

The tender is highly impractical for potential bidders. Without any supporting documents, it is impossible to prepare a compliant, comprehensive, and competitive application.

Impossibility for bidders to prepare an application without any tender documents or detailed instructions.
Data Consistency100/100

The provided information is internally consistent, with the description aligning with the stated characteristics and technical requirements. The automated check's 'Not green procurement' flag contradicts the tender's explicit mention of reducing environmental impact.

Automated check's 'Not green procurement' flag contradicts the tender's explicit commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Sustainability50/100

The tender explicitly incorporates sustainability and social value objectives in its description and technical requirements, which is a positive aspect. However, the lack of detailed criteria makes it difficult to assess how these will be measured and enforced.

Lack of specific, measurable criteria for assessing commitments to reducing environmental impact and adding social value.

Strengths

Utilizes a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for continuous market access and flexibility.
Clear strategic objectives focusing on innovation, integration of health and social care, and technology-enabled living.
Explicit inclusion of social criteria and commitment to reducing environmental impact and adding social value.
Long contract duration (124 months) and high estimated value provide stability and attract significant providers.

Concerns

Critical absence of any tender documents, making the procurement process unworkable.
Missing detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, a fundamental legal requirement.
Lack of specific financial requirements (e.g., minimum turnover, insurance) for a high-value contract.
Absence of clear evaluation criteria for technical and qualitative requirements.
Vague geographical scope and requirements (e.g., 'strong presence', 'areas of operation').

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish all comprehensive tender documents, including full specifications, terms and conditions, and application forms.
2. Clearly detail all mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and specific evaluation criteria for all technical capabilities.
3. Clarify the geographical scope of the service delivery, potentially by specifying NUTS codes or defined localities.
