Tender Quality Score

The tender outlines a significant contract for asbestos services with a clear scope and duration. However, the lack of full tender documents and detailed evaluation criteria in the provided extract raises concerns about transparency and completeness for potential bidders.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

Based solely on the provided extract, a full assessment of legal compliance is challenging. Crucial information regarding mandatory exclusion grounds and general eligibility criteria is explicitly stated as missing from this extract, directing bidders to external portals for full details.

Lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the provided extract.
Lack of explicit general eligibility criteria in the provided extract.
Clarity40/100

The description of required services (asbestos management, R&D, annual inspections) and the scope (nationwide coverage for 300 schemes) is generally clear. The requirement to integrate with the 'True Compliance' system is also clearly stated. However, the absence of detailed specifications and explicit evaluation criteria reduces overall clarity.

Lack of detailed specifications for the services.
Absence of explicit evaluation criteria beyond 'highest cost and quality submissions'.
Completeness83/100

This is a significant weakness. The extract explicitly states 'No documents attached, No document content available' and repeatedly refers bidders to an external portal for full details on exclusion grounds, eligibility, and other crucial information. Without the full tender documents, the provided information is incomplete for comprehensive bid preparation.

Absence of full tender documents.
Missing detailed mandatory exclusion grounds.
Fairness60/100

The 'Open procedure' generally promotes fairness. However, the 'nationwide coverage' requirement for 300 schemes might disproportionately favor larger contractors, potentially limiting competition. The specific integration with 'True Compliance' system, while an 'Innovation Focus,' could be a barrier if it requires proprietary software or significant integration effort not commonly available. The vague evaluation criteria ('highest cost and quality submissions') without defined weighting or sub-criteria could lead to subjective evaluation.

The 'nationwide coverage' requirement may limit competition.
The specific integration with 'True Compliance' system could be a barrier to entry for some bidders, potentially favoring those already familiar or integrated (potential tailoring concern).
Practicality40/100

The 5-year contract duration and estimated value indicate a substantial commitment. The requirement for nationwide coverage and integration with a new compliance system suggests a complex operational setup. The division into North and South regions, with a bidder only successful for one, is practical, but the mechanism for this selection is not detailed.

Lack of clarity on how the 'North and South regions' selection will be managed if a bidder excels in both.
The 'Innovation Focus' on 'True Compliance' system integration might pose practical implementation challenges for some bidders if not adequately supported with documentation or APIs.
Data Consistency100/100

There is an inconsistency between the CPV code ('Asbestos removal services') and the primary service described ('Asbestos Surveys'). Additionally, the estimated value is stated as '1,800,000.00 EUR' in the financial section but '£1.8 million' in the description, indicating a currency discrepancy.

Inconsistency between CPV code ('Asbestos removal services') and the primary service described ('Asbestos Surveys').
Inconsistency in currency for the estimated value (EUR vs GBP).
Sustainability25/100

The provided extract does not contain any information regarding environmental, social, or governance (ESG) criteria. This represents a missed opportunity for a modern public procurement to incorporate sustainability objectives.

Absence of explicit green procurement criteria.
Absence of explicit social criteria.

Strengths

Clear title and reference number provided.
Organization and description of services are outlined.
Contract duration and estimated value are disclosed.
Open procedure promotes competition.
Innovation focus on compliance system integration.

Concerns

Absence of full tender documents in the provided extract.
Vague evaluation criteria without specified weightings.
Potential for tailoring due to the specific 'True Compliance' system requirement.
Inconsistency in currency (EUR vs GBP) for the estimated value.
The 'nationwide coverage' requirement may limit competition.

Recommendations

1. Ensure full tender documents, including detailed specifications, exclusion grounds, eligibility criteria, and evaluation methodology, are readily accessible and complete.
2. Clarify and detail the evaluation criteria, including specific weightings for cost and quality, and sub-criteria.
3. Provide comprehensive information and support regarding the 'True Compliance' system to ensure fair access and understanding for all potential bidders.
