Tender Quality Score

This is a planning notice for a climate adaptation project, providing good initial details but lacking critical information expected in a full tender, impacting completeness and clarity. The restriction to UK-based SMEs/VCSEs and absence of e-submission are notable concerns.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

As a planning notice, it provides sufficient initial information and the CPV code is appropriate. The procedure type is defined, though codes are missing. The reservation for UK-based SMEs/VCSEs is a policy choice, likely permissible for below-threshold contracts, but the future tender will need to specify mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements.

Missing codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure'
Mandatory exclusion grounds not specified (future tender concern)
Clarity65/100

The project description and technical requirements are clear. However, the overall clarity for potential bidders is reduced by the explicit absence of evaluation criteria, financial requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds, which are crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the procurement process.

No evaluation criteria specified
Financial requirements not specified
Completeness60/100

While basic information, estimated value, and duration are provided, this is a planning notice, and as such, it is incomplete as a full tender. Critical elements like detailed evaluation criteria, financial requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds are explicitly missing or not specified.

No evaluation criteria specified
Financial requirements not specified
Fairness55/100

The requirement for bidders to be UK-based SMEs or VCSEs significantly restricts competition, although it may be a permissible policy for below-threshold contracts. The absence of specified evaluation criteria and the lack of e-submission further reduce the transparency and equal access aspects of the procurement.

Eligibility restricted to UK-based SMEs/VCSEs, limiting competition
No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality50/100

The lack of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback for bidders. While the contract start date and duration are known, the project being 'subject to funding' introduces an element of uncertainty regarding its ultimate execution.

No e-submission support
Project is 'subject to funding', introducing uncertainty
Data Consistency80/100

The provided data is largely consistent, with logical dates and no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are missing, and some requirements are explicitly 'Not specified', but this aligns with its 'planning' status.

Liable person not specified
Codes for 'Type' and 'Procedure' are missing
Sustainability70/100

The project's core objective of 'Climate Adaptation' inherently contributes to environmental sustainability. The reservation for SMEs/VCSEs also has a social/economic dimension. However, the tender documentation does not explicitly detail specific green procurement criteria, social clauses for contract execution, or innovation focus beyond the project's inherent goal.

No explicit green procurement criteria beyond project scope
No explicit social criteria for contract execution

Strengths

Clear description of works and project scope
Estimated value and duration are specified
CPV code is appropriately assigned
Project addresses climate adaptation, contributing to environmental sustainability
Data provided is largely consistent for a planning notice

Concerns

Critical information like evaluation criteria, financial requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds are missing
Eligibility restricted to UK-based SMEs/VCSEs, limiting competition
Lack of electronic submission support
Project execution is 'subject to funding'
No explicit green procurement, social, or innovation criteria beyond project's inherent nature

Recommendations

1. Publish the full tender documentation with comprehensive evaluation criteria, financial requirements, and mandatory exclusion grounds.
2. Implement electronic submission to enhance accessibility and fairness for bidders.
3. Clarify funding certainty and consider incorporating explicit social and environmental clauses for contract execution.
