Fire Safety Improvement Works at Civic Centre, Rickergate, Carlisle, CA3 8QG

This tender for fire safety works is moderately structured with clear work descriptions but suffers from significant deficiencies in critical areas such as evaluation criteria and explicit legal requirements, severely impacting fairness and completeness.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and there are no disputes. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and missing liable person details are notable legal compliance gaps. The reveal date is missing, making a full assessment of deadline reasonableness difficult, though 9 days from today is on the shorter side for a construction project.

The description of the works is clear and unambiguous. However, the tender critically lacks specified evaluation criteria, making it unclear how bids will be assessed. The absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and financial requirements further diminishes overall clarity for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and location are well-provided. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of explicit evaluation criteria, mandatory exclusion grounds, and financial requirements. The liable person and procedure codes are also missing.

The tender discloses the estimated value and directs bidders to an e-procurement portal, promoting equal access. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a severe fairness issue, as it prevents objective and transparent assessment of bids. The potentially short preparation time (9 days from today, with unknown reveal date) also impacts fairness.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. While an e-procurement portal ('The Chest') is indicated for access and submission, the automated check flags 'No e-submission', creating a minor inconsistency. A direct document URL is not provided, only the general portal address.

Key dates are logical and consistent, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. However, the 'Liable Person' field and procedure codes are empty. There is also a conflict between the AI-extracted eligibility requirements (register on The Chest) and the automated check's 'No e-submission' flag.

The tender shows no explicit consideration for green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
