Tender Quality Score

This tender is in the planning stage, with a clear description of services required. Key information is present, but the absence of disclosed value and evaluation criteria impacts completeness and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender is in the planning stage, which implies that formal legal compliance checks are ongoing. The CPV code is appropriate, and there are no immediate indicators of disputes or regulatory non-compliance. The deadline is set for April 30, 2026, which is a reasonable period from the planning date of March 13, 2026, for a tender of this nature.

Clarity80/100

The description of the required services (Post 16/19 Provision and Independent Non-Maintained Special School Provision for SEND) is clear. The AI-extracted requirements list key areas to be addressed by bidders. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria means bidders cannot fully understand how their submissions will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, and description is present. Contract duration and start date are specified. However, the estimated value is not disclosed, which is a significant omission for potential bidders. The number of tender documents is stated, but their content is not available.

Estimated value not disclosed
No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is divided into parts, which can promote fairness by allowing smaller providers to bid on specific sections. The AI-extracted requirements are general and do not appear tailored to specific companies. However, the lack of disclosed value and the absence of specified evaluation criteria hinder transparency and objective assessment.

Value not disclosed
Missing evaluation criteria
Practicality65/100

The tender is in the planning stage, and details regarding e-submission, document URLs, and financing are not yet available. The contract duration of 72 months is clearly specified, and the contract start date is also provided. The lack of immediate access to full documentation and submission methods limits current practicality.

No e-submission specified
No document URL provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, CPV code, contract duration, and start date are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (planning date, submission deadline, contract start) are logically sequenced.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation within the provided tender information. This suggests a lack of focus on sustainability criteria in this planning stage.
