Original Tender Description

North Yorkshire Council is seeking a contractor to deliver the Scarborough Traffic Signals Upgrade project, which involves the full replacement and upgrade of traffic signal equipment at key junctions in Harrogate. The works include installing new LED/ELV signal equipment, converting pedestrian facilities from farside to nearside, and improving traffic flow through modern control systems. The scope also covers kerb line alterations, tactile paving, ducting, civil engineering works, and integration with the existing UTC SCOOT system. CCTV cameras will be installed at both junctions for enhanced traffic monitoring. The project requires compliance with Department for Transport standards, British Standards, and Local Transport Notes, with all equipment being new and type-approved. The anticipated contract value is £500,000, and the works are expected to take 12–16 weeks, avoiding the summer embargo period. Contractors must provide detailed programmes, RAMS, and traffic management plans to minimise disruption, particularly near Harrogate Grammar School and Otley Road, a major route with high traffic volumes. The contract will be governed by NEC4 ECSC terms and evaluated on a 50:50 price-to-quality basis. Mandatory requirements include insurance cover (£10m for PL, PI, and EL), CDM compliance, and sustainability measures for recycling decommissioned equipment. Social value contributions and strategies to reduce environmental impact are expected. Upon completion, the contractor will provide as-built drawings, manuals, and a one-year warranty, including defect rectification within agreed periods.

Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear project description and includes sustainability aspects, but suffers from significant practical and completeness issues, particularly the lack of e-submission and inconsistent duration details.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance80/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV codes, and there are no reported disputes. While the reveal date is missing, the submission period appears reasonable. Compliance with UK national regulations for below-threshold contracts seems to be in order.

Missing reveal date
Clarity75/100

The project description is highly detailed and unambiguous, clearly outlining the scope, standards, and mandatory requirements. The AI-extracted requirements are also well-structured and understandable. However, the detailed sub-criteria for the 50:50 quality evaluation are not provided.

Detailed quality evaluation sub-criteria not specified
Completeness65/100

Basic information, value, and deadlines are mostly present. However, the tender lacks a reveal date and detailed quality sub-criteria. A significant inconsistency exists between the stated 'Contract Duration: 7 months' and 'works are expected to take 12–16 weeks'.

Missing reveal date
Inconsistent contract duration vs. works duration
Fairness60/100

The value is disclosed, and requirements do not appear tailored to a specific company. However, the absence of e-submission significantly hinders equal access and transparency for potential bidders. The lack of detailed quality sub-criteria also impacts transparency in evaluation.

No e-submission functionality
Detailed quality evaluation sub-criteria not specified
Practicality55/100

The tender lacks electronic submission capabilities and a direct document URL, which are significant practical drawbacks in modern procurement. The inconsistency in contract duration also creates practical ambiguity for planning.

No e-submission functionality
No direct document URL provided
Data Consistency60/100

Several key fields are unpopulated (Liable Person, Type Code, Procedure Code). There is a notable inconsistency between the stated contract duration and the expected works duration. The estimated value is given in both EUR and GBP, which, while potentially convertible, adds a minor inconsistency.

Empty fields (Liable Person, Type Code, Procedure Code)
Inconsistent contract duration vs. works duration
Sustainability70/100

The tender explicitly includes requirements for sustainability measures (recycling, environmental impact strategies) and social value contributions, indicating a good focus on these aspects. There is no explicit innovation focus beyond adopting modern technology.
