Milton Keynes College The Provision of Ground Maintenance

This tender for grounds maintenance services is generally well-structured with clear requirements and transparent evaluation criteria, but it suffers from a significant financial value inconsistency and lacks explicit sustainability considerations.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly. The 35-day submission period is reasonable for a below-threshold open competition. However, the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds and a 'missing reveal date' are minor legal transparency issues.

The service description is clear, and AI-extracted requirements for eligibility, technical capability, financial aspects, and submission are well-defined. Evaluation criteria are clearly specified with weightings. A minor issue is the discrepancy in the estimated value (EUR vs GBP).

All basic information, deadlines, value, and duration are provided. Requirements and evaluation criteria are defined. However, the 'Liable Person' field is empty, and the tender lacks explicit mention of mandatory exclusion grounds, which are standard components of complete tender documentation.

The tender promotes fairness through an open competition procedure, disclosed value, and reasonable submission deadline. Evaluation criteria are objective and transparently weighted. Requirements are generic and not tailored, and the use of the MultiQuote platform supports e-procurement for equal access.

Electronic submission via the MultiQuote platform is supported, and the contract start date and duration are clearly specified. While documents are available, a direct URL for tender documents was not explicitly provided in the summary. Financing information is limited to the estimated value.

A significant inconsistency exists regarding the estimated value, with both £200,000 and 240,000 EUR mentioned. Additionally, there are contradictions between the 'Issues/Flags' and 'Automated Check Results' (e.g., 'No evaluation criteria specified', 'No e-submission') and the more detailed AI-extracted requirements, indicating internal data parsing or input issues.

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
