Broadlea Primary School Fire Risk Assessment

This tender for fire safety and water supply works at Broadlea Primary School is in the planning phase, demonstrating good clarity in its requirements and a reasonable timeline. However, significant data inconsistencies regarding the submission deadline and evaluation criteria, coupled with the lack of e-submission, present notable concerns for potential bidders.

The tender defines a clear procedure type (Below threshold - open competition) and correctly assigns the CPV code. No disputes or suspensions are noted. While the summary lacks specific mandatory exclusion grounds, it directs bidders to the full documents, which is acceptable for a planning notice. The submission deadline provides ample time from today's date.

The description of the required works is clear and unambiguous. AI-extracted requirements for eligibility, technical capability, and financial aspects are well-documented and understandable. Although 'Issues/Flags' states missing evaluation criteria, the AI-extracted requirements clearly specify 70% price and 30% quality, indicating they are defined within the documents. Performance conditions could be more detailed.

Most basic information, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and location, is provided. Requirements and evaluation criteria are defined (per AI extraction). However, the 'planning' status suggests some details might be pending. The missing reveal date and the ambiguity around evaluation criteria reduce the completeness score.

The estimated value is disclosed, and the timeline for bid preparation is reasonable. Evaluation criteria (70% price, 30% quality) are objective and transparent. However, the restriction to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) limits the pool of potential bidders, and the stated lack of e-submission is a significant barrier to equal access and fairness.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and financing information (estimated value) is available. However, the absence of electronic submission significantly reduces the practicality of the tender for modern bidders. A direct document URL is not explicitly provided.

There is a critical inconsistency in the submission deadline, with the basic information stating April 7, 2026, and AI-extracted requirements stating April 8, 2026. Furthermore, the 'Issues/Flags' contradict the AI-extracted requirements regarding the presence of evaluation criteria. These significant discrepancies could lead to confusion and procedural errors.

The tender does not explicitly include green procurement, social aspects (beyond the SME focus), or innovation focus, nor is it EU funded. While this is common for smaller, below-threshold tenders, it indicates a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.
