Original Tender Description

Please note: This is a Market Engagement Opportunity, not a Tender Opportunity. The Borough Council of Calderdale is seeking to review and develop short breaks provision for children and young people with disabilities. This includes both targeted provision (such as activities, sports, and leisure opportunities) and specialist provision (such as homecare, sitting services, and outreach). The service provision should align with the Calderdale "Being me and living a larger life" vision from the SEND and Alternative Provision Strategy 2025-2030: 'Supporting SEND is everyone's business, so that children and young people with specialist needs and disabilities live a larger life, are ready for school, and have hope and aspiration for their future. This vision recognises the uniqueness of every individual and our ambition to address health inequalities and poverty, ensuring Calderdale is the best place in the North of England for children and young people with SEND to grow up.'

Tender Quality Score

This is a well-articulated market engagement opportunity, clearly distinguishing itself from a formal tender, with a strong social focus on supporting children and young people with disabilities. While it provides good clarity on its purpose and requirements, there are minor data completeness issues and a lack of electronic submission.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender clearly states it is a 'Market Engagement Opportunity, not a Tender Opportunity,' which correctly exempts it from full tender legal compliance requirements. The CPV code is appropriate. However, the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields are listed as 'None,' which is a data quality issue for the record itself.

Missing 'Type' and 'Procedure' codes for the record.
Clarity80/100

The description is exceptionally clear, explicitly stating the nature of the opportunity and its objectives. AI-extracted requirements are well-defined and appropriately differentiate from formal tender requirements, enhancing overall clarity.

Completeness70/100

Basic information like title, reference, organization, description, and deadlines are present. Duration and contract start date are specified. However, 'Type,' 'Procedure,' and 'Liable Person' fields are missing, and the estimated value is classified, impacting overall completeness of the record.

Missing 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields.
Missing 'Liable Person' information.
Fairness85/100

The requirements for participation are generic and not tailored to a specific company, promoting fair access. While the value is classified, this is less of a fairness concern for a market engagement. The lack of e-submission is a minor drawback for equal access.

No e-submission option, potentially limiting equal access for some participants.
Practicality65/100

The primary practical concern is the absence of electronic submission, which is a significant limitation in modern procurement practices. Other practical details like contract duration and start date are clearly specified.

No electronic submission supported.
Data Consistency90/100

The information provided is largely consistent, with dates being logical and no disputes or suspensions noted. The explicit declaration of 'Market Engagement' is consistent across the document. Missing fields are noted under completeness, but existing data is consistent.

Sustainability50/100

The core purpose of this market engagement is highly focused on social aspects, specifically supporting children and young people with disabilities, which is a significant positive. However, there is no mention of green procurement or innovation focus.

No explicit green procurement criteria.
No explicit innovation focus.

Strengths

Clear distinction as a market engagement, not a formal tender.
Strong social focus on supporting children and young people with disabilities.
Clear and unambiguous description of the opportunity.
Generic and fair participation requirements.
Consistent data regarding dates and status.

Concerns

Missing 'Type', 'Procedure', and 'Liable Person' fields in the basic information.
Lack of electronic submission option.
Estimated value is classified.
Absence of green procurement or innovation criteria.

Recommendations

1. Populate all standard fields (e.g., Type, Procedure, Liable Person) even for market engagement notices to improve data completeness.
2. Implement electronic submission capabilities to enhance accessibility and efficiency for participants.
3. Consider integrating environmental or innovation aspects into future service development, where appropriate.
