Original Tender Description

Suffolk Police, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Suffolk (PCC), Suffolk County Council and Community Safety Partnerships representatives from Babergh, East Suffolk, Mid Suffolk, Ipswich, and West Suffolk are seeking a delivery partner for a project that obtains and interprets the views of Suffolk residents on community safety. During 2025 a new Police and Crime Plan was developed covering the period 2025-2029, this has set out the policing priorities across Suffolk. The plan focuses on preventing crime and working with communities to make Suffolk a safer place to live, work, travel, and invest. This survey will offer partners across Suffolk an insight into the views of residents to help shape activity at a community safety partnership level. All partners also want to be able to ensure that longitudinal information is available to help inform current strategic priorities and delivery. The work will build upon themed and localised consultations previously undertaken along with needs assessments undertaken for strategy development. The partners are inviting bids from potential providers with extensive experience in large-scale, primary, human research within the community safety environment. This should specifically include policing, community safety, Criminal Justice and/or victims and witnesses of crime. The project will be a large scale, research survey giving a reliable and robust assessment of public perception of community safety and local policing. The successful provider would be expected to consult a representative cohort of Suffolk residents to seek their views and perceptions of community safety and local policing in the county to measure and understand progress being made against our priorities to inform policy and practice. This should be large enough to allow for segmentation at district level, on a demographic basis and between victims and non-victims.

Tender Quality Score

The tender outlines a clear objective for a community safety survey but suffers from a critical lack of detailed documentation, making a comprehensive assessment of its quality and fairness challenging. While the project scope is well-defined, the absence of full tender documents and evaluation criteria is a significant concern.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender appears to follow an open procedure, which is generally compliant. However, the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed selection criteria (e.g., financial capacity, professional capacity) in the provided extract raises questions about full compliance with procurement directives, which typically require these to be clearly stated.

Absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds
Lack of detailed selection criteria (e.g., financial capacity, professional capacity) beyond general eligibility
Clarity40/100

The description of the project's objective and desired outcomes is clear and well-articulated. However, the critical absence of actual tender documents means that detailed specifications, methodologies, and evaluation criteria, which are crucial for bidders to understand and respond clearly, are entirely missing from the provided information.

Lack of detailed technical specifications and methodology requirements
Absence of evaluation criteria
Completeness83/100

This is the most significant weakness. The provided information is an extract, and it explicitly states 'No documents attached' and 'No document content available'. This means critical components of a complete tender package, such as full terms and conditions, detailed scope of work, specific deliverables, submission instructions, and evaluation criteria, are entirely missing.

Absence of full tender documents
Missing detailed scope of work and deliverables
Fairness60/100

The technical capability requirements for 'extensive experience in large-scale, primary, human research within the community safety environment' specifically including 'policing, community safety, Criminal Justice and/or victims and witnesses of crime' are quite specific. While justifiable for the project's nature, without detailed evaluation criteria and a full understanding of the market, there's a potential for these to narrow the field significantly. The lack of full documentation makes it impossible to assess if all bidders will have equal access to information.

Highly specific experience requirements potentially limiting competition
Inability to assess fairness of evaluation without criteria
Practicality40/100

The project's scope (large-scale, representative cohort, segmentation) is ambitious and aligns with the estimated value and duration. However, the lack of detailed methodology requirements or expected deliverables in the provided extract makes it difficult for bidders to practically formulate a comprehensive and competitive proposal, increasing the risk of misaligned bids.

Lack of detailed methodology requirements for bidders to formulate practical proposals
Unclear expectations for deliverables without full documentation
Data Consistency100/100

The provided information is internally consistent regarding the project's aims and the type of experience sought. There are no apparent contradictions within the extracted data.

Sustainability25/100

The tender description does not explicitly mention any environmental, social, or economic sustainability criteria. The automated check also flagged 'Not green procurement' and 'No social criteria', indicating a missed opportunity to integrate sustainability objectives.

Absence of explicit environmental sustainability criteria
Absence of explicit social sustainability criteria

Strengths

Clear project objective and scope description
Open procedure promotes competition
Innovation focus is a positive characteristic
Value disclosed and reasonable contract duration

Concerns

Critical absence of full tender documents and detailed specifications
Missing explicit evaluation criteria, hindering transparency and fairness
Highly specific experience requirements might limit competition
Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed selection criteria
No mention of sustainability criteria

Recommendations

1. Publish comprehensive tender documents including detailed specifications, terms and conditions, and clear evaluation criteria.
2. Clarify and justify the highly specific experience requirements to ensure they are proportionate and non-discriminatory.
3. Include explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed selection criteria for financial and professional capacity.
