Original Tender Description

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council are the responsible body for facilitating and delivering the election process for Borough Council elections, County Council elections, the General Election (Central Government) and Police, Crime and Commissioner (PCC) elections. The next scheduled election is in May 2026, following by a potential election in May 2027/May 2028 (unless one is called earlier). A significant part of the election process is delivered in house, however the venue for the receipt of ballot boxes and count is at a site not owned, operated or managed by the Council. The count venue for May 2026 is North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College in Nuneaton (address: Hinckley Rd, Nuneaton CV11 6BH). Appendix A.1 is the site plan from google. Therefore, a contractor is required to provide comprehensive traffic management and associated services to ensure the safe, secure, and efficient receipt of election ballot boxes at the designated count venue, as well as security overnight at the Count venue and on the day of the Count.

Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear service description but suffers from significant omissions regarding evaluation criteria and e-submission, impacting transparency and fairness. While basic information is present, critical details for bidders are lacking.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender generally complies with basic legal requirements, with a reasonable submission period for a below-threshold procedure. However, the CPV code (Parking services) appears too narrow for the full scope including security, and the estimated value is classified, reducing transparency. The absence of explicitly mentioned mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements in the provided summary is a concern, though they might be in the full documents.

CPV code (63712400) seems too narrow for the full scope of services.
Estimated value is classified, reducing transparency.
Clarity60/100

The description of the required services is clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of specified evaluation criteria significantly hinders clarity for potential bidders. The lack of explicit mention of mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements in the summary also reduces overall clarity.

No evaluation criteria specified.
Mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements are not explicitly mentioned in the provided summary.
Completeness70/100

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, deadlines, and duration are well-defined. Technical requirements are also clearly stated. However, the tender is incomplete due to the critical omission of evaluation criteria and the lack of explicitly defined mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements in the provided information. One document also failed to download.

No evaluation criteria specified.
Mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements are not explicitly mentioned in the provided information.
Fairness55/100

Fairness is significantly compromised by the absence of specified evaluation criteria, which prevents bidders from understanding how their proposals will be judged. The lack of an e-submission option also creates barriers to equal access, and the classified estimated value reduces transparency for all potential suppliers.

No evaluation criteria specified.
No e-submission option available.
Practicality65/100

The practicality of this tender is notably reduced by the absence of electronic submission capabilities, which is a significant drawback in modern procurement. While the contract start date and duration are clear, the undisclosed estimated value and lack of detailed financing information also pose practical challenges for bidders in preparing their proposals.

No e-submission option available.
Estimated value is not disclosed.
Data Consistency90/100

The tender exhibits good data consistency, with most key fields populated and logical dates. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. Minor inconsistencies include empty fields for 'Liable Person' and procedure codes.

Some key fields (e.g., Liable Person, Type Code, Procedure Code) are empty.
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not include any explicit green procurement, social, or innovation aspects. This represents a missed opportunity to integrate broader public value considerations into the procurement process.

No green procurement criteria.
No social criteria.

Strengths

Clear and unambiguous description of required services.
Basic tender information (title, reference, organization, deadlines, duration) is well-defined.
Technical capability requirements are clearly stated.
Documents are available (mostly) and consistent in their summaries.
No disputes or suspensions reported.

Concerns

Absence of specified evaluation criteria.
No e-submission option available.
Estimated contract value is not disclosed.
Lack of explicitly mentioned mandatory exclusion, eligibility, and financial requirements in the provided summary.

Recommendations

1. Clearly define and publish comprehensive evaluation criteria to ensure transparency and fairness for all bidders.
2. Implement an e-submission platform to modernize the procurement process and enhance accessibility for suppliers.
3. Disclose the estimated contract value to improve transparency and assist bidders in preparing realistic proposals, if permissible under national regulations.
