Original Tender Description

Chelmsford City Council (the Council), in the heart of Essex, has a legal duty to provide temporary accommodation (TA) to hundreds of residents in Chelmsford who have become homeless. With rising demand, Chelmsford City Council has decided to ensure that we can keep up with this demand and procure a fixed number of properties to be used when needed. This fixed term TA contract will complement the Council’s existing dynamic purchasing system (DPS) which was designed to facilitate the short-term ad-hoc purchase of TA. This Contract will operate in addition to the DPS and is intended to secure a TA supply stream at a fixed price for at least the next two years.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for temporary accommodation is generally well-structured with clear objectives and financial information. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and technical requirements, and the submission deadline appears unusually short.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to basic legal requirements by specifying a CPV code and a clear procedure. However, the absence of a reveal date and specified evaluation criteria could pose a risk to procedural fairness and legal compliance. The deadline is also a point of concern.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The description of the need for temporary accommodation and the context of the council's legal duty is clear. The purpose of the contract and its relation to the existing DPS are well-explained. However, the lack of detailed eligibility, technical, and financial requirements leaves some ambiguity.

No specific eligibility requirements detailed
No specific technical capability requirements detailed
Completeness70/100

Essential information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration is present. However, the critical omission of document content and the lack of detailed requirements in several key areas (eligibility, technical, financial) reduce its completeness.

No document content available
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds details
Fairness85/100

The tender is open and uses a competitive flexible procedure, which generally promotes fairness. The value is disclosed, and the use of an e-procurement portal is positive. However, the lack of specified objective evaluation criteria and the potential for a short deadline could disadvantage some bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

The tender directs bidders to an e-sourcing portal for submission and information, which is a standard practice. However, the contract start date being the same as the submission deadline is highly impractical and likely an error, significantly hindering practical execution.

Contract start date is the same as submission deadline
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and duration are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates, while problematic for the start date, are otherwise logically presented within the tender's timeline.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which limits its sustainability score.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear title, reference, and organization details
Estimated value and contract duration specified
CPV code provided
Use of e-procurement portal for submission

Concerns

No document content available for review

Recommendations

1. Clarify and correct the contract start date to be after the submission deadline.
2. Publish detailed evaluation criteria and specific requirements for eligibility, technical capability, and financial standing.
