Tender Quality Score

This tender for refurbishment works at The Mill Arts & Events Centre is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific details on evaluation criteria and submission methods, impacting its overall practicality and completeness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with basic legal requirements, including a clear CPV code and a defined procedure for open competition below the threshold. Deadlines are provided, and there is no indication of disputes. The primary concern is the lack of a reveal date, which is a minor procedural omission.

Missing reveal date
Clarity80/100

The description of the required works is clear and detailed, outlining the scope of refurbishment needed for the building fabric and M&E plant. Eligibility and technical capability requirements are also reasonably well-defined, focusing on experience and operational continuity.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, organization, value, and deadlines. However, the absence of specific financial requirements for bidders and detailed submission requirements leaves gaps. Crucially, no document content is available, hindering a full assessment of completeness.

No document content available
No specific financial requirements detailed
Fairness85/100

The tender promotes fairness by being an open competition with a disclosed value and objective technical capability requirements. The criteria for qualification are based on experience and ability, which are standard. The main concern is the lack of specified evaluation criteria, which could lead to subjective decision-making.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract duration and start date, and the estimated value is clear. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission and the absence of document URLs make the practical execution of the submission process less straightforward. Financing information is also not detailed.

No e-submission specified
No document URL provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, organization, value, and deadlines are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions, and the dates provided (submission deadline, contract start) are consistent with the contract duration. The CPV code is also appropriate.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This lack of emphasis on sustainability aspects results in a moderate score in this category.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
