Kent & Medway Appropriate Adult (AA) Service

This tender for the Kent & Medway Appropriate Adult (AA) Service is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a defined scope. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria and the lack of accessible document content are notable drawbacks.

The tender adheres to open procedure and references relevant legislation (Procurement Act 2023, PACE). The CPV code is appropriate. The main concern is the potential for a short submission deadline, which could impact legal compliance if not sufficient for bidders to prepare. No disputes are reported.

The description of the service and the statutory requirement for an Appropriate Adult is clear. The role and purpose are well-defined. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria leaves bidders uncertain about how their submissions will be assessed.

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, contract duration, and start date. However, the crucial tender documents are not accessible or summarized, significantly hindering completeness. The value is disclosed but with potential variations.

The tender uses an open procedure, which is generally fair. The value is disclosed, and the criteria for eligibility (independence from police) are objective. The main concern is the lack of accessible tender documents, which could limit fair access for all potential bidders. The requirement for bids in specific languages is a positive aspect for fairness within those linguistic groups.

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. Financing information is implied through the estimated value. However, the absence of explicit mention of e-submission and the lack of accessible document URLs reduce practicality for bidders.

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated logically. The contract start date precedes the submission deadline, which is standard. No suspension or disputes are indicated.

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation within the provided tender information. The tender is not indicated as EU funded.
