Tender Quality Score

This tender for Educational Psychology Assessment Delivery is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on submission requirements, impacting completeness and practicality.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to open procedure and specifies a CPV code. The description references relevant legislation (Children and Families Act 2014, SEND Code of Practice), indicating a focus on regulatory compliance. The submission deadline is provided, and the contract duration is specified. However, the absence of explicit evaluation criteria and a missing reveal date are minor concerns.

Missing reveal date
No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity80/100

The description of the service required is clear, outlining the need for qualified Educational Psychologists to support EHC needs assessments. The scope of work, including assessment types, reporting, and consultation, is well-defined. The requirement for services to align with local strategic priorities is mentioned, though these specifics will be shared later.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. The submission deadline is clear. However, the tender documents are not available with content, and crucial details such as financial requirements and specific submission instructions are missing, reducing overall completeness.

No document content available
Financial requirements not specified
Fairness85/100

The tender uses an open procedure, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria for eligibility (suitably qualified Educational Psychologists) are objective. There are no apparent requirements tailored to specific companies. The use of e-procurement is implied by the structure but not explicitly stated as mandatory.

Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of information regarding e-submission, a direct URL for documents, and specific financing details limits practicality for potential bidders. The submission deadline, while present, might be considered tight given the potential need to access and review tender documents.

No e-submission specified
Document URL not provided
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadlines are populated logically. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided (submission deadline, contract start, duration) are consistent and do not present any immediate contradictions.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation requirements. It is also not indicated as EU funded. This suggests a lack of focus on sustainability criteria within this procurement process.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
