NCC202500254 - Catsash Road Water Drainage

This tender presents significant deficiencies in legal compliance, completeness, and fairness due to critical missing information and an irrelevant document, despite a clear project description. Key improvements are needed to ensure a robust and transparent procurement process.

The tender lacks crucial mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and specified evaluation criteria, which are fundamental for legal compliance. The inclusion of an irrelevant contract award notice as a tender document is a serious procedural flaw.

While the project description and technical requirements are clearly stated, the overall clarity of the tender is significantly hampered by the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and comprehensive eligibility/exclusion grounds, making it difficult for bidders to understand the full scope and assessment process.

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the critical absence of mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and evaluation criteria. The inclusion of an irrelevant document further detracts from its completeness.

The absence of specified evaluation criteria severely compromises the objectivity and transparency of the tender, impacting fairness. The lack of electronic submission support and the inclusion of an irrelevant document also create unnecessary hurdles for potential bidders.

The tender's practicality is diminished by the lack of electronic submission support, which is a standard expectation in modern procurement. While key dates and duration are provided, the absence of e-submission can complicate the bidding process.

There is a significant inconsistency in the estimated value (108,000 EUR vs. £90,000 in Document 2). The inclusion of a completely irrelevant document (Document 1) also indicates poor data management and consistency. Minor fields like 'Liable Person' and 'Code' are also unpopulated.

The tender does not incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. There is no indication of EU funding, which often drives higher sustainability standards.
