Tender Quality Score

This tender for Market Services by St Helens Council is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a defined scope. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and financial requirements, and the submission process is not fully defined.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with general procurement principles for below-threshold open competition. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no immediate indications of disputes or regulatory non-compliance. The deadline, while short, is within a reasonable range for below-threshold procurements.

Clarity80/100

The description of the service sought is clear, outlining the council's ambition to modernize and enhance its market operations. The technical capability requirements are articulated, though they are qualitative rather than quantitative. The absence of specified evaluation criteria impacts clarity on how proposals will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Key information such as the contract duration and start date is provided. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, and the content of the tender documents is not available for review, hindering a full assessment of completeness.

Estimated value not disclosed
No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open competition, which promotes fairness. The requirements are broadly defined, avoiding specific tailoring to individual companies. The lack of disclosed value and detailed evaluation criteria could be perceived as a minor fairness concern, but the open nature of the competition is a strong positive.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, it does not explicitly mention e-submission, and the URL for accessing documents is not provided, which could complicate the submission process. Financing information is also absent.

No e-submission specified
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100

The key fields such as title, reference, organization, and dates are populated logically. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The dates provided are consistent and do not present any logical conflicts.

Sustainability50/100
