Tender Quality Score

This tender outlines a four-year framework agreement for asbestos works and services, divided into three lots, utilizing an Open procedure and ESPD (Scotland) for self-certification, but suffers from a critical lack of explicit evaluation criteria and detailed requirements.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender adheres to standard legal frameworks by using an Open procedure and referencing ESPD (Scotland) for mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility criteria. The NUTS code is appropriate for the contracting authority's location.

Clarity60/100

The overall purpose and lot structure are clearly defined. However, the rules for awarding multiple lots are complex and could lead to misinterpretation. The use of EUR for the overall estimated value and GBP for lot-specific values introduces a minor inconsistency.

Complex and potentially confusing rules for awarding multiple lots.
Inconsistency in currency used for overall estimated value (EUR) versus lot-specific values (GBP).
Completeness100/100

While basic tender information is provided, there is a significant omission of explicit evaluation criteria and detailed technical/financial requirements beyond general references to ESPD (Scotland). This lack of detail hinders bidders' ability to prepare comprehensive proposals.

Absence of explicit evaluation criteria (e.g., quality vs. price weighting, specific sub-criteria).
Lack of detailed technical and financial requirements, relying solely on general ESPD (Scotland) references.
Fairness80/100

The division into lots and the restrictions on awarding multiple lots (e.g., Lot 1 excludes Lot 2/3, and only one 1st rank for Lot 2/3) are positive aspects designed to promote competition and prevent single supplier dominance. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria severely compromises the transparency and fairness of the evaluation process.

Lack of explicit evaluation criteria undermines transparency and fairness for bidders.
Practicality40/100

The framework agreement approach and lotting strategy are practical for managing diverse asbestos services across an estate. Self-certification via ESPD (Scotland) streamlines the initial application. However, the complexity of the lot award restrictions might pose administrative challenges.

Complexity of lot award restrictions could lead to administrative difficulties and bidder confusion.
Data Consistency100/100

There is an inconsistency between the overall estimated value stated in EUR and the sum of the lot-specific values stated in GBP. Furthermore, the summary for 'Document 1' is entirely irrelevant to this tender, indicating a significant data integrity issue in the provided information.

Discrepancy between overall estimated value (EUR) and sum of lot-specific values (GBP).
Summary for 'Document 1' is completely irrelevant to the tender.
Sustainability0/100

The tender does not include any explicit requirements or considerations related to environmental, social, or innovation aspects, representing a missed opportunity for a public sector body.

Absence of green procurement criteria.
Absence of social criteria.

Strengths

Clear division of services into three distinct lots, promoting specialization and potentially broader market participation.
Utilization of a framework agreement for efficient, long-term provision of services.
Self-certification via ESPD (Scotland) simplifies the initial application process for bidders.
Restrictions on lot awards aim to prevent single supplier dominance and foster competition.
Open procedure ensures broad market access for potential bidders.

Concerns

Critical absence of explicit evaluation criteria, compromising transparency and fairness.
Lack of detailed technical and financial requirements beyond general ESPD references.
Complex and potentially confusing rules for awarding multiple lots.
Inconsistency in currency and total value estimation between overall and lot-specific figures.
Absence of sustainability, social, or innovation criteria.

Recommendations

1. Clearly define and publish comprehensive evaluation criteria for each lot, including weighting for quality and price.
2. Provide more detailed technical and financial requirements within the tender documents, rather than solely relying on general ESPD references.
3. Simplify and clarify the rules for awarding multiple lots to ensure easy understanding for all bidders.
