The Norton Knatchbull School Cleaning Tender

This tender for school cleaning services is generally well-structured with clear requirements and good practical accessibility, but is significantly hampered by critical inconsistencies in key dates and financial values, alongside a lack of explicit evaluation criteria and bidder financial requirements.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and provides a very reasonable submission period of over seven months. However, the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided summary is a notable legal omission, and the 'Liable Person' field is empty.

The description of the required services, school context, and performance conditions is clear and unambiguous. AI-extracted technical requirements are well-defined. However, the tender lacks explicit and detailed evaluation criteria, which is crucial for bidders to understand how their proposals will be assessed.

Basic information, deadlines, duration, and location are provided, and tender documents are accessible. However, the tender is incomplete regarding specific financial requirements for bidders and detailed evaluation criteria. There is also an inconsistency in the stated estimated value and currency.

The tender ensures fairness through full document access, disclosed value, a very reasonable preparation period of over seven months, and e-procurement enablement. Requirements appear generic and not tailored. The primary concern for fairness is the absence of explicit, objective evaluation criteria.

The tender demonstrates good practicality by supporting electronic submission via a provided portal URL. The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, facilitating bidder planning.

This category presents significant issues. There are critical inconsistencies between the basic information and the description regarding the estimated value (EUR vs. GBP) and the contract start date, which is illogically listed as the same day as the submission deadline in the basic info. Key fields like 'Liable Person' and procedure codes are also empty.

The tender explicitly requests innovative approaches to sustainability, efficiency, and continuous improvement, indicating a positive focus on environmental and innovation aspects. However, it does not explicitly include social criteria.
