St Neots Town Council Insurance April 2026 - March 2029 Tender

This tender is critically flawed by the absence of essential documentation, particularly the "example policy schedule" mentioned, making it impossible for bidders to formulate compliant offers. Significant omissions in legal and evaluation criteria further compromise its quality and fairness.

The tender lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and comprehensive evaluation criteria, which are fundamental for legal compliance and transparency in public procurement.

While basic tender information is clear, the core technical requirements remain ambiguous due to the critical absence of the referenced "example policy schedule," hindering bidders' understanding of the scope.

The tender is highly incomplete, notably lacking the essential "example policy schedule" and explicit mandatory exclusion grounds. The absence of detailed financial evaluation criteria also represents a significant gap.

The lack of clear evaluation criteria and detailed specifications (due to missing documents) creates an uneven playing field. The requirement for "experience with town and parish council operations" could limit competition, though it may be justifiable for specialized insurance.

Bidders face significant practical challenges in preparing a compliant and competitive offer without the crucial "example policy schedule" and clear evaluation criteria. The absence of an e-submission option is also a practical drawback.

A critical inconsistency exists between the tender description, which states that an "example policy schedule is provided," and the "DOCUMENTS (0 total)" section, which explicitly indicates no documents are attached.

The tender does not incorporate any green, social, or innovation criteria, representing a missed opportunity to promote broader public value and sustainable procurement practices.
