Naburn Court Fire Stopping

This tender exhibits significant limitations in fairness due to highly restrictive eligibility criteria and a critical failure in document access. While basic information is present, the lack of comprehensive requirements and sustainability considerations reduces its overall quality.

The eligibility requirements, specifically restricting bidders to West Yorkshire-based SMEs or VCSEs, raise significant concerns regarding compliance with principles of free competition. The absence of explicitly mentioned mandatory exclusion grounds and the failure to download the primary 'Tender Notice' document are also notable legal deficiencies.

The tender description is minimal, and technical capability requirements are vague, lacking specific standards or experience levels. While 'lowest price' is a clear evaluation criterion, comprehensive performance conditions are not explicitly stated, leading to a moderate level of overall clarity.

A critical issue is the failure to download the 'Tender Notice' document, which is essential for a complete understanding of the tender. Furthermore, mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly defined, and while requirements are listed, they lack comprehensive detail in areas like technical specifications.

The eligibility criteria, limiting participation to West Yorkshire-based SMEs and VCSEs, are highly restrictive and severely limit competition, suggesting potential tailoring or undue preference. This, combined with the critical failure to provide full document access (Tender Notice), significantly compromises the fairness of the procurement process.

Electronic submission via the Jaggaer platform is a positive aspect, and key dates like contract start and duration are provided. However, the failed download of a primary tender document presents a significant practical barrier for potential bidders. Detailed financing information beyond the estimated value is also absent.

Several inconsistencies are present, such as 'Value Classified: Yes' contradicting the disclosed estimated value of 70,000 EUR. There are also conflicting statements regarding evaluation criteria and e-submission between the AI-extracted requirements and automated checks. The 'Liable Person' field is also empty.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement criteria, social aspects beyond the SME/VCSE focus, or innovation considerations. This indicates a low focus on broader sustainability objectives.
