Withy Grove Park and Car Park Improvements

This tender for park improvements is severely lacking in essential documentation and detailed requirements, significantly hindering fair competition and comprehensive bid preparation.

The tender utilizes an open procedure below the threshold, which is generally compliant. However, the absence of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds and detailed eligibility/selection criteria raises concerns regarding adherence to fundamental procurement principles and transparency.

The project description is brief, and the requirements are exceptionally vague, lacking the specificity needed for bidders to fully understand the scope of work, expected outcomes, and how their bids will be assessed.

The tender is critically incomplete, as it lacks any attached documents, such as detailed specifications, scope of works, drawings, or draft contract terms. This omission makes it impossible for bidders to prepare a comprehensive and compliant offer.

The profound lack of detailed requirements, evaluation criteria, and supporting documents creates a highly uneven playing field. This could lead to subjective evaluation and potentially disadvantage bidders who cannot infer the client's exact needs or how their bids will be judged.

While the 3-month contract duration for park improvements seems reasonable for the estimated value, the absence of detailed scope and specifications makes it impractical for bidders to accurately price, plan, and execute the work effectively.

The basic information provided (title, reference, organization, value, CPV) is consistent. However, the overall lack of detailed data prevents a thorough consistency check across various tender sections.

There is no mention of green procurement, social criteria, or innovation focus within the provided information, indicating a missed opportunity to incorporate sustainability objectives into the tender process.
