Tender Quality Score

This tender for supported living services for adults with mental health difficulties is generally well-structured, with clear descriptions and financial information. However, it lacks specific evaluation criteria and details on e-submission, impacting practicality and potentially fairness.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender adheres to general regulatory frameworks by specifying a competitive flexible procedure and referencing relevant regulations. The CPV code is appropriate. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed evaluation criteria could be a minor compliance concern. Deadlines appear reasonable given the nature of the procurement.

Clarity80/100

The description of the services and the target user group is clear and detailed. The division into lots is also well-defined. The requirements for technical capability are adequately outlined. The primary clarity issue stems from the lack of specified evaluation criteria.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, organization, description, estimated value, and contract duration. However, the tender documents themselves are not accessible or summarized, and crucial details regarding evaluation criteria are missing, impacting overall completeness.

No document content available
Missing evaluation criteria
Fairness85/100

The tender is open and the estimated value is disclosed. The competitive flexible procedure and the intention to invite the top six bidders after a PSQ evaluation suggest a fair process. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria makes it difficult for bidders to fully understand how they will be assessed, which could be perceived as a fairness concern.

No evaluation criteria specified
Practicality65/100

The tender specifies a submission deadline and contract start date. However, the absence of explicit information regarding e-submission and the lack of accessible document URLs hinder the practicality of the process for potential bidders.

No e-submission
No document content available
Data Consistency90/100

Key fields such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, and deadlines are populated. The contract duration and start date are logical. There are no indications of suspension or disputes. The currency conversion between EUR and GBP for the total value is noted but does not create inconsistency.

Sustainability50/100

The tender does not explicitly mention any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. It is also not indicated as EU funded, which limits the sustainability score.

Not green procurement
No social criteria
