Legal Compliance100/100
The tender appears to follow a 'Below threshold - open competition' procedure. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion or eligibility grounds in the provided text is unusual, even for a below-threshold tender, and could be a compliance risk if not detailed elsewhere. The lack of attached documents makes a full assessment impossible.
•Absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds
•Absence of explicit eligibility requirements
Clarity40/100
The project description and technical capability requirements are generally clear, defining key terms like 'capacity' and 'capability.' The objective of the survey is well-articulated. However, the absence of full tender documents means that crucial details regarding methodology, reporting, and contractual terms are missing, which could lead to ambiguity.
•Lack of detailed methodological requirements
•Absence of full tender documents leading to potential ambiguity on specific deliverables and contractual terms
Completeness83/100
This is the weakest aspect. The tender information provided is highly incomplete. Crucial elements such as full tender documents, detailed evaluation criteria, specific submission requirements beyond the portal, and contractual terms are entirely missing. This makes it very difficult for bidders to prepare a comprehensive and compliant proposal.
•No tender documents attached
•Missing detailed evaluation criteria
Fairness60/100
The 'open competition' procedure suggests an intent for fairness. The technical requirements are broad enough not to immediately suggest tailoring to a specific company. However, the complete absence of evaluation criteria is a major concern for fairness, as it prevents bidders from understanding how their proposals will be judged, potentially leading to arbitrary decisions.
•Missing detailed evaluation criteria, which compromises transparency and fairness
•Lack of full tender documentation prevents assessment of potential hidden biases
Practicality40/100
The 10-month contract duration and the budget of £100,000 seem reasonable for a comprehensive labour survey of this nature. The requirement to use an eSourcing portal is practical for submission. However, the lack of detailed requirements and documents makes it impractical for bidders to accurately scope their work and prepare a robust proposal.
•Impractical for bidders to accurately scope work due to missing detailed requirements and documents
•Potential for increased administrative burden for bidders seeking clarification on missing information
Data Consistency100/100
There is a minor inconsistency between the 'Estimated Value: 120,000.00 EUR' and the 'proposed budget is no more than £100,000 excluding VAT' in the description. While these values might be roughly equivalent depending on the exchange rate, it should be explicitly clarified which currency and exact maximum value applies for bidding purposes.
•Inconsistency between estimated value in EUR and stated budget in GBP (£100,000)
Sustainability25/100
The tender explicitly includes a requirement for the survey methodology to 'promote a sustainable approach to ensure its value for future research in this area,' which is a strong positive. This demonstrates foresight and a commitment to long-term utility of the research. The 'Innovation Focus' characteristic also aligns with sustainable development by encouraging forward-thinking solutions.
