Tender Quality Score

This tender for civil engineering works provides a detailed scope but suffers from critical omissions, including evaluation criteria and the primary tender notice document, alongside significant data inconsistencies, which collectively diminish its quality and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance60/100

While the procedure type and CPV codes are correctly identified, the tender lacks specified mandatory exclusion grounds, a clear reveal date, and crucially, evaluation criteria. The failure to access the main "Tender Notice" document also raises concerns regarding full disclosure and adherence to procurement regulations.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity55/100

The description of the civil engineering works across the four lots is exceptionally detailed and clear, and the AI-extracted technical requirements are well-articulated. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a fundamental flaw that severely compromises the clarity for potential bidders on how their submissions will be assessed.

No evaluation criteria specified
"Tender Notice" document download failed
Completeness50/100

Basic tender information and a comprehensive description of the scope of works are provided. Nevertheless, the tender is significantly incomplete due to the missing evaluation criteria, the failure to provide access to the primary "Tender Notice" document, and a critical inconsistency regarding the contract duration.

"Tender Notice" document download failed
No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness40/100

The absence of transparent evaluation criteria is a major fairness concern, as bidders cannot understand the basis of assessment. The inability to access the main tender notice document and the lack of electronic submission options further detract from equal access and transparency for all potential suppliers.

"Tender Notice" document download failed (impedes full access)
No evaluation criteria specified (lack of transparency)
Practicality45/100

The tender presents practical challenges due to the lack of electronic submission, which is a standard feature in modern procurement. Furthermore, the inability to download the primary tender notice document and the conflicting information regarding contract duration create practical hurdles and confusion for interested parties.

No e-submission
"Tender Notice" document download failed
Data Consistency40/100

A significant data inconsistency exists between the stated contract duration of 48 months and the financial estimate being based on an 8-year period. Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for "Liable Person" and procedure codes, and a slight discrepancy between EUR and GBP estimated values.

"Contract Duration: 48 months" vs. "£83 million for the full 8 year period"
Empty "Liable Person" and procedure "Code" fields
Sustainability25/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green, social, or innovation criteria. This represents a missed opportunity to align the procurement with broader sustainability objectives and modern best practices in public procurement.

Not green procurement
No social criteria

Strengths

Detailed and clear description of works across four lots
Estimated value and contract duration (though inconsistent) are disclosed
CPV code and NUTS code are correctly assigned
Tender is divided into parts, promoting competition

Concerns

Absence of specified evaluation criteria
Failure to access the primary "Tender Notice" document
Significant inconsistency between contract duration and financial estimate period
Lack of electronic submission option
No explicit sustainability (green, social, innovation) criteria

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish or ensure access to all tender documents, especially the "Tender Notice" and full ITT, including detailed evaluation criteria.
2. Clarify and correct the inconsistency regarding the contract duration and the period used for financial estimation.
3. Implement electronic submission capabilities to enhance accessibility and efficiency.
