Tender Quality Score

This is a market engagement notice for a Supported Housing Needs Assessment. While it provides a clear description and estimated value, it lacks specific tender documents and evaluation criteria, and is not a formal call for competition.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The notice is in a 'planning' status, indicating it's pre-tender. The CPV code is appropriate. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline is very short for a market engagement. No disputes are noted. Regulatory compliance is implied by the mention of the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023.

Submission deadline may be too short for effective market engagement.
Clarity80/100

The description of the required assessment and the purpose of the market engagement is clear and detailed. The scope of services and the cohorts to be considered are well-defined. The AI-extracted requirements are also clearly presented.

Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration are present. However, there are no actual tender documents attached or summarized, and crucial information like evaluation criteria is missing, which is expected for a market engagement but limits completeness for a potential tender.

No tender documents available or summarized.
Missing evaluation criteria (expected for a market engagement, but impacts completeness).
Fairness85/100

The estimated value is disclosed, and the process is described as market engagement, not a call for competition, which promotes early market insight. There are no apparent tailored requirements to specific companies. The objective criteria for engagement are implied through the questions posed.

Practicality65/100

The notice specifies a contract start date and duration. However, it does not mention e-submission capabilities or provide a direct URL for documents. Financing information is not detailed. The short submission deadline also impacts practicality for potential respondents.

No e-submission mentioned.
No direct URL for documents provided.
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and dates are populated. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are logically sequenced, although the submission deadline is very close to the contract start.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding in the provided text. This category is therefore not addressed.

No mention of green procurement.
No mention of social aspects.

Strengths

Clear description of scope and objectives
Appropriate CPV code provided
