Tender Quality Score

This tender for Adult Supported Living Services is generally well-structured with a clear description and substantial estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and submission requirements, and the availability of tender documents is a concern.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to open procedure and specifies a relevant CPV code. The use of Light Touch Rules suggests a regulatory framework is being followed. Deadlines are provided, though their adequacy for a 15-year contract is not explicitly assessed here. No disputes are noted.

Clarity80/100

The description of the service requirement is clear, outlining the support for vulnerable adults. The rationale for using a Procured Service Arrangement (PSA) under Light Touch Rules is explained. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and detailed submission requirements reduces overall clarity.

Missing evaluation criteria specified
No specific submission requirements listed
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration is present. However, the lack of content for the tender documents and the absence of explicit details on eligibility, technical, and financial requirements mean crucial information is missing.

No document content available
Missing eligibility requirements
Fairness85/100

The tender utilizes an 'Open procedure' and mentions 'E-Procurement', which are positive indicators for fairness. The PSA model is described as facilitating 'Supported Person's choice', suggesting a focus on user needs. The lack of specific tailored requirements for particular companies is a strength. However, the absence of disclosed evaluation criteria makes it difficult for bidders to understand how their submissions will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

The tender indicates 'E-Procurement', which is a positive aspect. However, the AI-extracted requirements suggest a lack of explicit information regarding e-submission processes, document URLs, contract start dates, and financing details, which are crucial for practical application.

No e-submission details provided
Missing contract start date
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and duration are populated. The status is 'active', and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided are logical within the context of a tender.
