RFQ 2025/50 - Provision to Operate a Service of Outdoor Visitor Attractions at Castle Park Newcastle

This tender provides clear basic information but suffers from significant deficiencies, such as the absence of evaluation criteria and detailed requirements, which diminishes transparency and fairness.

The absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements represents a notable legal compliance gap. The reveal date is also missing, impacting the assessment of deadline reasonableness.

The tender lacks specified evaluation criteria, and the eligibility, technical, and financial requirements are overly general, making it difficult for bidders to understand what is truly expected or how their proposals will be judged.

While basic information is present, critical elements such as detailed tender specifications, comprehensive evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and specific financial requirements are notably absent.

The complete absence of evaluation criteria is a critical fairness issue, as bidders cannot ascertain the basis on which their submissions will be assessed. This lack of transparency undermines equal opportunity.

Electronic submission via MultiQuote and clear contract dates are positive. However, the lack of detailed specifications and requirements makes it challenging for potential operators to prepare a comprehensive and practical bid.

Key fields are mostly populated, and dates are logical. There is a minor inconsistency in contract duration (6 months vs. 1 year + 4-year extension), which is clarified in the description. The reveal date is missing.

The tender does not incorporate any specific green procurement criteria, social aspects beyond general encouragement for SMEs/VCSEs, or an innovation focus.
