Original Tender Description

TfGM is looking to establish a new contract for a single supplier to provide interceptor cleaning and maintenance services which in its current form includes the emptying, cleaning, inspection, and maintenance of the chambers, including the filter equipment. Also, the maintenance and inspections of high-level (Darcy type) alarm systems and ad-hoc emergency reactive services across the estate. Each location where this type of equipment is installed on the TfGM estate will require a visit once per year, as part of the planned preventive maintenance (PPM) plan. The winning Tenderer will work with TfGM to agree a plan as to when these visits will take place. The Tenderer must be able to provide both the interceptor cleaning and maintenance AND the Darcy alarm inspections and maintenance either themselves or via a suitable subcontractor that the Tenderer will be expected to contract manage and be fully responsible for during the contract term. TfGM are looking to award this contract for an initial 3 years, with two 1-year optional extensions, potentially reaching 5 years in total.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for interceptor cleaning and alarm maintenance is generally well-structured with clear service descriptions, but lacks specific evaluation criteria and detailed documentation, impacting its overall completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to open procedure and provides a CPV code. Deadlines are present, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the contract value and scope. No disputes are reported. Regulatory compliance is assumed but not explicitly detailed.

Clarity80/100

The description of services required (interceptor cleaning, Darcy alarm maintenance, emergency services) is clear. The requirements for the tenderer to provide these services directly or via a subcontractor are well-defined. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria makes it difficult to fully assess the clarity of the selection process.

No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration is present. However, the lack of available content for the tender documents is a significant omission, preventing a full assessment of completeness. The reveal date for documents is also missing.

No document content available
Missing reveal date
Fairness85/100

The tender is an open procedure, suggesting fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the requirements are focused on service provision rather than specific company capabilities. The use of e-procurement is implied but not explicitly stated as mandatory for submission.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of explicit mention of e-submission and the absence of document URLs or content limit the practicality for potential bidders. Financing information is not detailed.

No e-submission
Document URL missing
Data Consistency90/100
