Original Tender Description

This project is located in the Belfast Hills and specifically the publicly accessible sites of Divis and Black Mountain, Ligoniel Dams and Park and Cave Hill Country Park and peripheral sites of Glencairn. The capital works will develop over eight kilometers of new and improved pathways, stream crossings and wayfinding signage that will reconnect communities in North and West Belfast with the Belfast Hills.

This project is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).

Tender Quality Score

This tender presents a clear project description with strong social objectives but suffers from significant documentation gaps, particularly the absence of evaluation criteria and critical data inconsistencies, hindering transparency and fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The procedure type and CPV code are clear, and no disputes are noted. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, financial requirements, and evaluation criteria, along with a missing reveal date, indicates potential non-compliance with full disclosure standards for an EU-funded project.

Missing reveal date
No specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, or financial requirements found in AI summary
Clarity60/100

The project description and technical requirements are clearly articulated. Nevertheless, the critical absence of evaluation criteria and the lack of comprehensive eligibility, exclusion, and financial requirements significantly reduce the overall clarity of the tender process for potential bidders.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements in AI summary
Completeness55/100

While basic information, timeline, and location details are provided, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of evaluation criteria, specific exclusion/eligibility/financial requirements, and the inclusion of an entirely irrelevant document.

No evaluation criteria specified
Missing specific mandatory exclusion grounds, eligibility, and financial requirements in AI summary
Fairness40/100

The lack of specified evaluation criteria is a critical fairness flaw, preventing objective assessment of bids. The absence of e-submission also creates barriers to equal access, despite the technical requirements appearing generic.

No evaluation criteria specified
No e-submission
Practicality65/100

The tender provides a clear contract start date, duration, and funding source. However, the absence of electronic submission capabilities is a significant practical drawback for bidders.

No e-submission
Data Consistency30/100

Data consistency is poor due to a major discrepancy in the estimated value (EUR vs. GBP), the inclusion of an entirely irrelevant document summary, and a contradiction regarding EU funding status. Several key fields are also unpopulated.

Irrelevant document content (Document 1 summary)
Estimated value discrepancy (EUR vs GBP in Document 2)
Sustainability70/100

The project inherently possesses strong social sustainability aspects through its focus on community connection, engagement, and cross-community events. It is also supported by EU funding (PEACEPLUS), which typically promotes higher sustainability standards, despite automated flags suggesting otherwise for green/innovation.

Automated checks incorrectly flag 'No social criteria' and 'Not EU funded'
