Halifax Pool Demolition

This tender for Halifax Pool Demolition is critically flawed by the complete absence of essential tender documents, making it impossible for potential bidders to prepare compliant and informed quotations. While basic information is provided, the lack of detailed specifications, contractual terms, and evaluation criteria severely compromises clarity, completeness, and fairness.

The tender refers to 'MANDATORY EXCLUSION GROUNDS' but explicitly states none are provided, which is a significant omission. The overall legal compliance cannot be fully assessed due to the absence of all referenced tender documents.

The tender's description of the service required is clear, but the detailed requirements are entirely unclear as all referenced documents ('document 2 Schedule of Works', 'demolition management plan', 'contract documents') are missing. This makes it impossible for bidders to understand the scope and expectations.

The tender is severely incomplete. Despite referencing key documents for specifications and contractual terms, none are attached. Crucially, evaluation criteria are also missing, leaving bidders unaware of how their submissions will be judged.

The absence of essential tender documents creates a highly unfair bidding environment, as bidders cannot accurately assess the scope, risks, or prepare competitive offers. The lack of evaluation criteria further undermines fairness and transparency.

From a bidder's perspective, the tender is highly impractical. Bidders are asked to submit a quotation addressing detailed specifications that are not provided. While a mandatory site visit is practical for site assessment, it cannot substitute for written requirements.

There is a critical inconsistency between the tender description and requirements, which repeatedly reference specific documents, and the 'DOCUMENTS (0 total)' section, which indicates no documents are attached.

The tender does not include any explicit sustainability, green procurement, or social criteria, which is a missed opportunity for a public procurement.
