Legal Compliance100/100
The tender states it's managed under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (Light Touch Regime), which allows for more flexibility. However, the complete absence of tender documents, including specific mandatory exclusion grounds (despite being listed as a requirement category), makes it impossible to verify full compliance with transparency and equal treatment principles. The discrepancy between the 2021 reference/initial application date and the 2026 deadline for an "active" tender requires clarification regarding ongoing legal validity and application process.
•No specific mandatory exclusion grounds detailed, despite being listed as a requirement category.
•Complete absence of tender documents prevents verification of compliance with PCR 2015 principles.
Clarity40/100
The general description of the service and categories of need is clear. However, the complete absence of any tender documents, detailed specifications, terms and conditions, or evaluation criteria renders the tender entirely unclear for any potential bidder.
•No detailed requirements or specifications provided.
•No evaluation criteria or methodology available.
Completeness83/100
The tender is critically incomplete. Despite basic information being present, the complete absence of any attached documents means that all essential details required for a bidder to understand, prepare, and submit a tender are missing.
•No tender documents attached or available.
•No detailed scope of work or technical specifications.
Fairness80/100
The concept of a multi-provider flexible framework with 6-monthly opportunities is inherently designed to promote fairness and market access over time. However, the complete lack of accessible tender documents, detailed requirements, and transparent evaluation criteria severely undermines the fairness of the current application process, as bidders cannot understand what is expected of them or how they will be assessed.
•Lack of transparent evaluation criteria.
•No detailed requirements for all bidders to ensure equal understanding.
Practicality40/100
From a bidder's perspective, this tender is entirely impractical. Without any documents, specifications, or instructions, it is impossible for any potential provider to prepare a meaningful or compliant submission.
•Bidders cannot prepare a submission without any tender documents.
•No practical guidance on how to apply or what information to provide.
Data Consistency100/100
There is a notable inconsistency between the tender's reference number (023765-2021), the initial application closing date (November 2021), and the current submission deadline (March 2026), while the tender status is "active". This suggests a long-running framework, but the lack of clarity on how new applications are handled *now* is a significant gap.
•Discrepancy between the tender's reference year/initial application date and the current submission deadline.
•Lack of clear instructions for joining the framework in 2026, given the 2021 initial deadline.
Sustainability0/100
No information regarding environmental, social, or innovation criteria is provided within the available tender details.
•Absence of green procurement criteria.
•Absence of social criteria.
