R&M framework - for the maintenance, repair, planned and remedial works and services for the Council’s commercial buildings and support for a variety of capital projects as required

This tender exhibits significant deficiencies in fundamental areas such as legal compliance, clarity, completeness, and fairness due to the absence of critical requirements and a failed document download. While basic information is present, the lack of detailed criteria poses substantial risks to the procurement process.

The tender lacks explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility requirements, and evaluation criteria, which are fundamental legal requirements for public procurement. While the procedure type and CPV code are correctly identified, these omissions represent critical compliance gaps.

While the general scope of works is clearly described, the tender suffers from a severe lack of clarity regarding specific requirements (technical, financial, eligibility) and evaluation criteria. This makes it exceptionally difficult for potential bidders to understand what is expected and how their bids will be assessed.

The tender is significantly incomplete due to the absence of crucial information such as mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, technical, and financial requirements, and evaluation criteria. Furthermore, a key document ('Lot L-1', likely the specification) failed to download, rendering essential details inaccessible.

Fairness is severely compromised by the absence of specified evaluation criteria, which introduces subjectivity and reduces transparency. The failure to access a key document ('Lot L-1') creates an unequal playing field, and the lack of e-submission further limits equal access. The overall absence of detailed requirements makes it challenging to ensure a fair and objective assessment.

The tender's practicality is hampered by the lack of electronic submission, which is a standard expectation in modern procurement. The failure to download a critical document also presents a significant practical hurdle for interested bidders.

Most basic data fields are consistent and logical, including dates and the overall structure. However, the 'Liable Person' field is unpopulated, and there is a minor discrepancy between the estimated value in EUR and the GBP equivalent mentioned in the Official PDF.

The tender does not indicate any focus on green procurement, social aspects, or innovation criteria. It is also not identified as EU funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.
