Capital Minor Works projects for Derby, Chelmsford, Peterborough and Portsmouth Cafcass reference CAF594-25

This tender represents a direct award from an existing framework, which ensures a streamlined process for pre-qualified contractors but significantly limits broader market access and transparency for external parties.

The tender clearly defines the procedure as a direct award from the Procure Partnerships Framework, which is a legally recognized method. CPV codes are correctly assigned, and no disputes are reported. The compliance is high within the context of a framework agreement.

The description and AI-extracted requirements are exceptionally clear regarding the direct award nature and the reliance on framework pre-qualification. The scope of work and locations are well-defined. The absence of new evaluation criteria is inherent to this process.

While basic information is present, the estimated value is classified, and the full contract duration (start date) is missing. Evaluation criteria are not specified within this notice, as they were part of the framework establishment.

The tender is explicitly tailored to companies already appointed to the Procure Partnerships Framework, severely limiting competition and access for other potential bidders. The classified value also reduces overall transparency.

The contradiction between 'E-Procurement' characteristic and 'No e-submission' automated check creates confusion. The absence of a contract start date and classified financing information also impacts practicality for planning.

Several key fields like 'Liable Person' and 'Code' for procedure type are empty. The 'missing reveal date' and the contradiction between 'E-Procurement' and 'No e-submission' indicate data inconsistencies.

There is no mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus within the tender documentation, indicating a lack of emphasis on sustainability criteria.
