Visit Newquay Website Design and Build (Revised)

This revised tender suffers from critical deficiencies, primarily the continued inaccessibility of essential bidding documents and the complete absence of evaluation criteria, severely undermining its legal compliance, clarity, completeness, and fairness.

While the re-issuance demonstrates an intent to rectify previous procedural errors, the continued inaccessibility of critical tender documents (e.g., Pricing Schedule, Detailed Specification, Bidding Documents) constitutes a significant breach of procurement regulations regarding transparency and equal treatment. The absence of evaluation criteria is also a major legal compliance concern.

The tender's description regarding the reason for re-issuance is clear. However, the core requirements for the website design and build are not clearly documented due to inaccessible "Detailed Specification Document." Furthermore, the complete absence of specified evaluation criteria makes it impossible for bidders to understand how their proposals will be judged, leading to significant ambiguity.

Basic administrative information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and deadlines are provided. However, the tender is critically incomplete as essential documents like the "Pricing Schedule," "Detailed Specification Document," and "Bidding Documents" are listed but inaccessible. Crucially, evaluation criteria are entirely missing.

The re-issuance was an attempt to restore fairness after initial technical issues. However, the continued lack of full access to critical tender documents and the complete absence of objective and transparent evaluation criteria severely compromise the fairness of the competition. This creates an uneven playing field, as suppliers cannot prepare informed and competitive bids.

The tender specifies electronic submission via email and provides clear deadlines and contract dates. However, the practical ability for any supplier to prepare and submit a meaningful bid is severely hindered by the inaccessibility of fundamental documents such as the detailed specification and pricing schedule. This makes the tender practically unworkable for serious bidders.

Most key structured fields (title, reference, organization, value, CPV, dates) are populated and appear consistent. The primary inconsistency lies in the listing of 10 tender documents, with 5 of them (including critical ones) returning "Page not found" errors, directly contradicting their implied availability. The automated check's "No e-submission" flag also conflicts with the explicit instruction for email submissions.

The tender does not include any explicit requirements or considerations related to green procurement, social aspects, or innovation. This is a missed opportunity to leverage public procurement for broader public value, although common for below-threshold tenders.
