PSNI - 6462255 - PSNI Minor Works Framework Agreement 2026

This tender for a minor works framework agreement is well-structured with clear descriptions and a reasonable estimated value. Key concerns relate to the lack of detailed evaluation criteria and the absence of information regarding sustainability or innovation. The limited document content and non-e-submission process present practical challenges.

The tender adheres to general legal compliance by providing essential information such as a title, reference number, organization, clear description, and CPV code. The estimated value and contract duration are specified. However, the absence of specific mandatory exclusion grounds and unclear evaluation criteria could pose risks for bidders regarding regulatory adherence and dispute resolution.

The description of the works and the structure of the framework agreement (divided into lots and two parts for minor and major works) are generally clear. Eligibility and technical capabilities are outlined. The requirements for contract types (NEC4) are also specified, contributing to a good level of clarity.

Most basic information is present, including title, organization, description, estimated value, and contract duration. However, crucial details are missing, particularly regarding the content of the tender documents, which are not available for review. The lack of explicitly detailed financial requirements is also a gap.

The tender is structured with a clear division into lots and proposes a competitive flexible procedure. The estimated value is disclosed, and the framework agreement aims for a competitive process through mini-competitions for major works. The main concern is the potential for a lack of fairness if evaluation criteria are not objectively defined and if document access is limited.

The tender has a stated submission deadline and contract start date, though the latter is the same as the deadline, which might be impractical. The absence of e-submission is a significant drawback, as is the lack of accessible tender document content, making practical engagement difficult.

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and deadlines are populated, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. The dates provided are logically consistent, although the contract start date coinciding with the submission deadline is unusual.

The tender currently shows no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. While EU funding is not indicated, the absence of sustainability considerations is a significant missed opportunity for modern public procurement.
