Tender Quality Score

This tender aims to establish an approved provider list for educational and SEND services. However, the provided information is critically incomplete, lacking essential tender documents and detailed criteria, which significantly hinders a comprehensive quality and fairness assessment.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

Basic information like title, organization, type, procedure, and value are present, aligning with fundamental transparency requirements. However, the absence of detailed tender documents, specific mandatory exclusion grounds, and evaluation criteria raises significant concerns regarding full legal compliance and transparency.

Absence of detailed tender documents.
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds stated.
Clarity40/100

The description of the service scope is generally clear, outlining the need for educational provision, school improvement, and SEND services. However, the complete lack of any actual tender documents means the detailed requirements, specifications, and terms and conditions are entirely absent, leading to significant ambiguity for potential bidders.

Lack of detailed specifications and terms due to missing documents.
High-level nature of 'extracted requirements' without supporting detail.
Completeness83/100

This is the weakest aspect. The tender information is critically incomplete, lacking all essential tender documents, detailed financial requirements, specific mandatory exclusion grounds, and crucially, evaluation criteria. This makes it impossible for a bidder to prepare a comprehensive and compliant submission.

No documents attached.
No document content available.
Fairness80/100

The high-level nature of the eligibility and technical capability requirements, coupled with the complete absence of detailed documents and evaluation criteria, makes it difficult to assess fairness. Without clear, objective criteria and specifications, there's a significant risk of subjective evaluation and potential for tailoring during the actual evaluation phase.

Absence of evaluation criteria creates a risk of subjective assessment.
Broad and generic technical capability requirements without specified demonstration methods.
Practicality40/100

From the procuring authority's perspective, establishing an approved provider list is a practical approach. However, from a bidder's perspective, the lack of detailed information makes it impractical to prepare a meaningful bid. The process, as presented, is not practical for bidders to understand the full scope, expectations, or how they will be evaluated.

Bidders cannot practically prepare a comprehensive bid without detailed documents.
Unclear what specific evidence or methodology is required to 'demonstrate capability'.
Data Consistency100/100

The provided data points (title, reference, organization, value, duration, CPV) are internally consistent. However, the inconsistency lies in presenting 'extracted requirements' without any source documents, which is a significant gap.

'Extracted requirements' are presented without any source documents, creating a disconnect.
Sustainability0/100

The provided information does not include any specific sustainability criteria (environmental, social, or economic). The automated check also flags 'Not green procurement' and 'No social criteria'.

No explicit sustainability criteria mentioned.
No focus on green procurement or social criteria.

Strengths

Clear title, reference, and organization specified.
Description of the service scope is provided.
Estimated value and contract duration are disclosed.
Open procedure promotes competition.
CPV code provided for classification.

Concerns

Complete absence of tender documents and detailed content.
Missing explicit evaluation criteria, leading to potential subjectivity.
Lack of specific financial requirements.
Generic eligibility and technical capability requirements without clear demonstration methods.
No explicit mandatory exclusion grounds detailed.

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish all comprehensive tender documents, including detailed specifications, terms and conditions, and annexes.
2. Clearly define and publish the evaluation criteria, including weighting and methodology, for both technical and financial aspects.
3. Provide specific guidance on how bidders should 'demonstrate capability' for technical requirements, e.g., through past experience, case studies, or proposed methodologies.
