Care and Support at Home Services Contract Re-open January 2026

This tender for Home Care services presents significant deficiencies in documentation and clarity, with critical requirements and evaluation criteria missing or inaccessible, severely impacting fairness and completeness despite clear basic information.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV codes correctly, and the submission period is reasonable. However, the 'Page not found' errors for critical technical and economic criteria documents, coupled with the explicit deferral of specific mandatory exclusion, eligibility, technical, and financial requirements to external, partially inaccessible documents, represent a significant legal compliance risk regarding transparency and full disclosure.

While the overall service description and geographical scope are clear, the tender explicitly states that specific mandatory exclusion, eligibility, technical, and financial requirements are not provided in the analyzed documents. Crucially, the absence of specified evaluation criteria and the 'Page not found' errors for key documents severely undermine the clarity of the tender for potential bidders.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and duration is present. However, the tender is significantly incomplete as critical requirements (mandatory exclusion, eligibility, technical, financial) and evaluation criteria are missing from the provided content. Furthermore, two out of six listed documents are 'Page not found' errors, indicating incomplete or inaccessible documentation.

The tender benefits from an open procedure, e-procurement, disclosed value, and a reasonable submission period. However, the 'Page not found' errors for technical and economic criteria documents mean bidders do not have full access to essential information, which is a major fairness concern. The explicit absence of evaluation criteria also makes it impossible to assess the objectivity and transparency of the selection process, severely compromising fairness.

Electronic submission is supported, and the contract duration is clearly specified. However, the practicality is hampered by the lack of a direct, functional URL for the full procurement documents (implied by the error pages). The contract start date is not known, and financing information is limited to the estimated value without further details.

Most key fields are populated, dates are logical, and there are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field and a missing code for the 'Type: Open' field. The 'Value Classified: Yes' while the value is disclosed is a minor contradiction.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate green procurement, social criteria (beyond the inherent nature of home care services), or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards. This indicates a lack of explicit consideration for sustainability aspects within the tender documentation.
