Legal Compliance100/100
The pre-qualification questionnaire (PSQ) access and submission deadline has already passed as of today's date (2026-01-14), rendering the tender inaccessible to new potential bidders and violating principles of equal treatment and transparency.
•PSQ deadline passed before today's date, making participation impossible for new bidders.
Clarity40/100
Several eligibility requirements, such as 'proactive in contractual innovation' and 'deliver high-quality performance,' are subjective and lack clear, measurable definitions or assessment criteria within the provided information.
•Subjective eligibility requirements without clear definitions.
•Missing evaluation criteria for subjective requirements.
Completeness83/100
The tender is critically incomplete, lacking all essential tender documents, including the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PSQ) itself, detailed specifications, and evaluation criteria. This prevents bidders from understanding the full scope and requirements.
•No tender documents attached or available.
•Missing evaluation criteria.
Fairness60/100
The passed PSQ deadline severely restricts competition. The reservation of the right to 'refine the award criteria' introduces uncertainty and potential for arbitrary changes, undermining transparency and equal treatment. The broad scope covering '100% of Thames Water's electric metering portfolio' combined with subjective requirements and missing documentation raises concerns about potential tailoring.
•PSQ deadline passed, limiting competition.
•Right to refine award criteria introduces uncertainty.
Practicality40/100
It is practically impossible for any new interested party to participate in this tender due to the pre-qualification deadline having already passed. The lack of any tender documents further exacerbates this issue.
•Participation impossible for new bidders due to passed PSQ deadline.
•Lack of tender documents makes bid preparation unfeasible.
Data Consistency100/100
There is a critical inconsistency in the timeline: the deadline for asking for and submitting the PSQ (9th January 2026) has already passed relative to the current date (14th January 2026), while the overall submission deadline is much later.
•PSQ deadline precedes today's date, creating a critical timeline inconsistency.
Sustainability25/100
The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement or social criteria, despite the 'Innovation Focus' characteristic, which could have included sustainability innovations.
•No explicit green procurement criteria.
•No explicit social criteria.
