Tender Quality Score

This tender for BMS servicing demonstrates good clarity on technical requirements and evaluation criteria but suffers from significant completeness and fairness issues due to failed document downloads and data inconsistencies. The highly specific technical requirements and lack of e-submission also present practical challenges.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV codes are clearly defined and appropriate. There are no reported disputes. However, the tender lacks explicit mention of mandatory exclusion grounds and a clear reveal date, which are important for full legal compliance and transparency.

Missing explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the required services and the AI-extracted technical capability requirements are clear and unambiguous. Evaluation criteria (60% price / 40% quality) are specified. However, the mention of the tender being 'Divided into Parts' lacks further clarification, and explicit performance conditions are not detailed in the provided summaries.

Lack of detail regarding 'Divided into Parts'
Performance conditions not explicitly detailed
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, and CPV code is present. While deadlines, value, and duration are specified, there are significant discrepancies in the estimated value and contract duration across different tender sections. Crucially, two out of five tender documents failed to download, indicating critical missing information. Mandatory exclusion grounds and specific financial stability requirements are also noted as absent.

Two out of five tender documents failed to download
Significant discrepancy in estimated value (£40,000 vs 48,000 EUR)
Fairness60/100

The lack of access to all tender documents due to download failures significantly compromises fairness. The requirement for 'competence and experience in servicing Priva BMS systems' and 'UK-based contractor' is highly specific and, while potentially justifiable for existing infrastructure, could limit competition. The absence of electronic submission also creates an unequal playing field for potential bidders.

Incomplete document access due to failed downloads
Requirement for 'Priva BMS systems' expertise may limit competition
Practicality65/100

The tender lacks support for electronic submission, which is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. The failure of two tender documents to download also presents practical difficulties for bidders in accessing complete information. While the contract start date is known, the overall practical accessibility is hindered.

No electronic submission supported
Failed document downloads impede practical access to information
Data Consistency50/100

There are critical inconsistencies in the tender data, specifically regarding the estimated value (stated as 48,000.00 EUR in basic info but £40,000 in document summaries) and contract duration (24 months in basic info but 2-4 years in summaries). The 'Liable Person' field is also empty. These discrepancies can cause confusion and undermine trust.

Inconsistent estimated value (£ vs EUR)
Inconsistent contract duration (24 months vs 2-4 years)
Sustainability20/100

The tender does not include any explicit criteria or focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria

Strengths

Clear description of services required
Specific technical capability requirements are outlined
Evaluation criteria (price/quality split) are defined

No disputes or suspensions reported

Concerns

Two out of five tender documents failed to download, severely impacting completeness and fairness
Significant data inconsistencies regarding estimated value (£ vs EUR) and contract duration
Absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and specific financial requirements

Recommendations

1. Ensure all tender documents are accessible and downloadable to maintain fairness and transparency for all potential bidders.
2. Rectify all data inconsistencies, especially regarding estimated value and contract duration, to provide clear and reliable information.
3. Consider enabling electronic submission to enhance accessibility and efficiency for potential bidders and align with modern procurement practices.
