Original Tender Description

Xplore! has recently been awarded a Moondance Foundation BIG Donation capital and revenue award. Xplore! is therefore now looking to create a new immersive exhibition, LaunchPADLansio, to cater specifically for our under 5s audience. LaunchPAD (Play & Discovery) / PADLansio (Potsio a Darganfod) will flip the script on early years learning. We are creating an immersive STEAM exhibition space at Xplore! designed exclusively for under 5s that sparks curiosity, ignites imagination and fuels vital cognitive, communication, and social skills. Our BIG Idea? Put the child front and centre. Rooted in the Wales Early Years Framework and Curriculum for Wales (Progression Step 1), the space champions learning through play, because play isn’t just fun, it’s fundamental. LaunchPADLansio will be situated on the ground floor of Xplore’s city centre building and will sit alongside a revamped café and catering-grade kitchen. This has been tendered separately and is outside the scope of this tender. The minimum contract duration will be until the end of the project 16/10/26. The scope of services relating to the design, fabrication and installation of the LaunchPADLansio under 5s exhibition contract is as follows but not limited to: · Design development of initial concept design · Production of final specification of individual exhibits through value engineering · Production of technical designs of exhibition elements and interactives · Fabrication and installation on site

Tender Quality Score

This tender for the design, fabrication, and installation of an under 5s exhibition is generally well-structured, with clear objectives and a disclosed budget. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on submission methods, impacting its overall practicality and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender follows an open procedure and provides a CPV code. Deadlines are specified, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the scope. No disputes are reported. Regulatory compliance is assumed but not explicitly detailed.

Clarity80/100

The description of the project, its purpose, and the target audience is clear and engaging. The scope of services is outlined, though it is stated as 'not limited to', which could introduce some ambiguity. Key requirements are documented.

Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the lack of available document content and specific evaluation criteria reduces completeness.

No document content available
Fairness85/100

The tender is open, and the estimated value is disclosed. Criteria for evaluation are not specified, which could be a concern for bidders. The requirement for bidders to provide services in multiple languages (English, Estonian, Latvian, Polish, Lithuanian) is unusual and potentially restrictive, impacting fairness if not genuinely required for the project's execution or if it disproportionately disadvantages local bidders.

Eligibility requirement for multiple languages may be overly specific and potentially unfair if not strictly necessary for project delivery.
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a contract start date and duration. However, the lack of information on e-submission methods and the absence of document content make the submission process less practical. Financing information is not detailed.

No e-submission specified
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, value, and dates are populated. The contract start date and submission deadline are logically ordered. No suspensions or disputes are indicated.

Sustainability50/100

There is no explicit mention of green procurement, social aspects, innovation, or EU funding, which are common considerations in modern tenders. This suggests a lack of focus on these areas.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
