Tender Quality Score

This tender for the Aseptic Unit Re-Development is critically incomplete due to the complete absence of tender documents and evaluation criteria, making it unbiddable. While the project description is clear, the technical requirements are highly specific and potentially restrictive, raising concerns about fair competition.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender mentions mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements but provides no details. The fundamental absence of any tender documents makes it impossible for bidders to comply with legal requirements or understand the full scope of the procurement.

Absence of all tender documents
Lack of detail on mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements
Clarity40/100

The project description and the technical capability requirements for case studies are clearly articulated. However, the overall clarity for potential bidders is severely compromised by the complete lack of supporting documentation, specifications, and terms.

No tender documents available to provide full clarity on project scope, terms, and conditions
Completeness83/100

The tender is critically incomplete. No tender documents are attached, and essential information such as detailed specifications, full financial requirements, and crucially, evaluation criteria, are entirely missing. This renders the tender unbiddable.

Complete absence of all tender documents
Missing detailed specifications and terms and conditions
Fairness60/100

The technical capability requirements, specifically the need for four UK-based case studies within 10 years, for specific client types (NHS, Private Hospital, Commercial Provider in UK), with at least one MHRA Manufacturer's Specials (MS) Licence, are highly specific. While the project is specialized, these cumulative criteria could significantly limit competition to a very narrow pool of UK contractors, potentially indicating tailoring. The absence of evaluation criteria further compromises fairness.

Potentially restrictive and tailored technical capability requirements limiting competition
Absence of evaluation criteria, preventing assessment of fair bid assessment
Practicality40/100

From a bidder's perspective, it is impractical to prepare a compliant and competitive bid without access to any tender documents, specifications, or evaluation criteria. The highly specific experience requirements, while relevant, also narrow the practical pool of eligible bidders.

Impractical for bidders to prepare a bid without tender documents
Highly specific experience requirements may limit practical participation
Data Consistency100/100

Within the limited information provided, the data appears consistent. However, the lack of any detailed documents prevents a comprehensive assessment of data consistency across the full tender package.

Insufficient data to fully assess consistency due to missing documents
Sustainability25/100

There is no mention of green procurement, environmental considerations, or social criteria within the provided tender information.

No green procurement criteria
No social criteria
