Tender Quality Score

This tender re-opens a Flexible Purchasing System for temporary accommodation but critically lacks essential documentation and detailed requirements, hindering a comprehensive assessment and fair competition. The absence of full tender documents is a significant concern for transparency and bidder participation.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The use of an Open procedure for re-opening a Flexible Purchasing System is a recognized procurement approach. However, the absence of full tender documents, mandatory exclusion grounds, and detailed financial/technical requirements makes it impossible to fully assess compliance with transparency and equal treatment principles.

Absence of full tender documents
Missing mandatory exclusion grounds
Clarity40/100

While the general intent to increase temporary accommodation capacity is clear, the specific requirements for 'Supported Lodgings' and associated services lack sufficient detail. Bidders are left to infer many aspects without comprehensive documentation, leading to potential ambiguities.

Lack of detailed service specifications
Absence of specific evaluation criteria
Completeness75/100

The tender information provided is severely incomplete. Crucial documents, detailed mandatory exclusion grounds, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria are all missing, making it impossible for potential bidders to prepare a compliant and competitive offer.

No documents attached
No document content available
Fairness80/100

The significant lack of detailed information and the absence of full tender documents create a highly uneven playing field. Bidders without prior knowledge of the existing Flexible Purchasing System or direct communication with the Council would be at a distinct disadvantage, potentially favoring incumbent suppliers or those with insider information.

Uneven playing field due to missing information
Potential for favoring incumbent suppliers
Practicality20/100

It is highly impractical for potential suppliers to prepare a robust and compliant submission based solely on the limited information provided. The absence of full documents, detailed requirements, and evaluation criteria makes it challenging to understand the true scope and expectations.

Inability to prepare a comprehensive bid without full documents
Unclear submission forms and required content
Data Consistency100/100

The limited data provided is internally consistent. However, the lack of comprehensive information means there's insufficient data to assess consistency across all aspects of the procurement.

Sustainability0/100

The provided information does not include any specific green procurement or social criteria. While the service itself (temporary accommodation with support) has inherent social value, explicit sustainability requirements are absent.

No explicit green procurement criteria
No explicit social criteria beyond the service nature
