Tender Quality Score

This tender for residential care services for adults with learning disabilities and autism is well-described in its scope and objectives, but critically lacks all essential tender documents and evaluation criteria, severely hindering a fair and competitive bidding process.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender specifies an 'Open procedure' and includes a practical requirement for Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration post-award, which generally aligns with legal frameworks. However, the complete absence of full tender documents, including mandatory exclusion grounds, prevents a comprehensive assessment of legal compliance.

•Full tender documents, including explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, are not provided, making a comprehensive legal compliance check impossible.
Clarity40/100

The service description, scope (up to 5 residents), and the Council's expectations regarding innovation, best value, and quality are clearly articulated. However, key details referenced, such as the 'Finance Model schedule' and 'sample form of contract', are not available, leading to significant ambiguity for potential bidders.

•Key referenced documents (Finance Model schedule, sample form of contract) are not provided, leading to ambiguity regarding financial expectations and contractual terms.
Completeness83/100

This is the most significant deficiency. The tender explicitly states 'DOCUMENTS (0 total)' and 'No document content available'. Crucially, evaluation criteria, the Finance Model schedule, and the sample contract are entirely missing, rendering the tender incomplete and unbiddable in its current form.

•Critical tender documents (full tender pack, evaluation criteria, Finance Model schedule, sample contract) are entirely missing from the provided content.
Fairness60/100

While the requirements for a 'track record of providing high-quality residential respite services of a similar nature' are common for specialized care, the absence of any evaluation criteria makes it impossible to assess how fairness will be ensured in the selection process. Qualitative requirements like 'innovative provider' or 'proven abilities to think imaginatively' lack objective evaluation frameworks.

•Absence of evaluation criteria makes it impossible to assess the fairness and objectivity of the selection process.
•Qualitative requirements are stated without clear evaluation methodology, potentially leading to subjective assessment.
Practicality40/100

The allowance for CQC registration post-award is a practical measure to encourage wider participation. However, the complete lack of tender documents, including financial models and contractual terms, makes it practically impossible for bidders to prepare a comprehensive, competitive, and informed tender response.

•Bidders cannot practically prepare a comprehensive and competitive bid without access to the full tender documents, including the Finance Model and sample contract.
Data Consistency100/100

Within the provided extract, the information regarding contract duration, estimated value, and service scope appears consistent.

Sustainability50/100

The tender lists 'Social Criteria' as a characteristic, which is a positive indicator for social sustainability. However, no specific details or requirements for these criteria are provided. Environmental sustainability aspects are entirely absent.

•Specific details regarding the 'Social Criteria' are missing, limiting their impact.
•No mention of environmental sustainability requirements, indicating a lack of green procurement focus.

Strengths

Clear description of the service scope and resident needs (up to 5 residents).
Open procedure and CQC registration post-award promotes wider market participation.
Strong emphasis on innovation, best value, and maintaining high-quality service.
Inclusion of 'Social Criteria' as a procurement characteristic.

Concerns

Complete absence of all essential tender documents, including the full specification, Finance Model schedule, and sample contract.
Critical omission of evaluation criteria, making fair and transparent assessment impossible.
Qualitative requirements (e.g., 'innovative provider', 'imaginative thinking') lack defined evaluation methodologies.
Vague 'Social Criteria' without specific details and no mention of environmental sustainability.

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish all comprehensive tender documents, including the full specification, detailed evaluation criteria, the Finance Model schedule, and the sample form of contract.
2. Clearly define and, where possible, quantify the qualitative requirements, outlining the specific methodology for their evaluation.
3. Provide specific details regarding the 'Social Criteria' and consider incorporating explicit environmental sustainability requirements into the tender.
