Homes England - Central Lancashire Landscape Maintenance and Cleansing Contract 2026 - 2029

This tender notice provides basic information but is critically incomplete due to the absence of attached documents and detailed requirements, significantly hindering potential bidders' ability to prepare informed proposals.

The tender notice outlines an open procedure below threshold, which is legally sound. However, the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed financial requirements in the notice itself, referring bidders to an eTendering system, means the notice alone is insufficient for full legal compliance assessment.

While the general description of services is clear, the eligibility and technical requirements are highly generic ("competent," "availability," "capability," "able to provide/deliver/meet KPIs"), lacking the specificity needed for bidders to fully understand expectations.

This is a major weakness. The tender notice explicitly states "No documents attached" and "No document content available." Crucially, evaluation criteria are missing, and specific financial requirements and mandatory exclusion grounds are not detailed within the notice.

The absence of explicit evaluation criteria is a significant concern for fairness, as it prevents bidders from understanding how their proposals will be assessed and could lead to subjective decision-making. Vague requirements also contribute to this.

The lack of detailed requirements and attached documents makes it impractical for suppliers to accurately assess the scope, prepare a comprehensive bid, or estimate costs effectively without accessing an external eTendering system.

The information provided is generally consistent, though the NUTS code being "N/A" for a specified location (Central Lancashire) is a minor omission.

The automated checks explicitly flag "Not green procurement, No social criteria, No innovation focus," indicating a missed opportunity to incorporate broader sustainability and social value objectives.
