Original Tender Description

52 Aldgate High Street has been identified as a key site for the relocation and development of the Mounted Unit’s facilities. The plan involves combining the vacant plot at 52 Aldgate with the neighbouring properties at 50-51 Aldgate High Street to create a unified and functional space. Located in the City of London, this development aims to provide a practical and well-integrated solution to support the Mounted Unit’s operational needs. The project is currently in the initial feasibility and site assessment phase. 52 Aldgate presents a highly suitable location for the Mounted Unit due to a combination of operational, logistical, and strategic advantages. Its central position ensures immediate access to the Square Mile, enabling rapid deployment of officers for ceremonial duties, crowd management, and high-visibility policing. The site benefits from rear access, providing a discreet and practical entry point for day-to-day operations, including the secure movement of horses and equipment. Crucially, there is sufficient space at the rear of the site to accommodate the parking and manoeuvring of the Mounted Unit’s horse box, a key operational requirement. In addition, the site offers enough capacity to consolidate all horse welfare and stabling needs under one roof, improving efficiency and care standards. There is also the potential to build commercial accommodation above the proposed stables; this is subject to feasibility and viability testing but raises the possibility of raising income, subject to market response. Together, these factors make 52 Aldgate a rare and strategically valuable opportunity to establish a long-term, purpose-built base for the City of London Police Mounted Unit. At present, significant effort is focused on engaging with Transport for London (TfL), the key stakeholder and landowner, to thoroughly understand the current condition, boundaries, and legal status of the site. This includes a detailed investigation into the complex network of underground utilities and transport services that run beneath and adjacent to the site, which are critical to informing design parameters and mitigating potential risks related to construction. Coordination with the TfL is ongoing to secure accurate mapping, service locations, and any operational constraints that may impact the project timeline and technical approach. This phase is vital for establishing a clear understanding of site-specific challenges and opportunities, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, and setting the foundation for successful planning and delivery. Please see full MEP scope within tender documents.

Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear project description and specific requirements but suffers from critical omissions regarding evaluation criteria and electronic submission, impacting fairness and overall process quality. While basic information is present, the lack of transparency in key areas is a notable concern.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and there are no reported disputes. However, the absence of a clear reveal date and, more critically, the lack of specified evaluation criteria represent significant gaps in mandatory disclosure and transparency, impacting full compliance with best practices. The 27-day submission period from today's date is generally reasonable for preparation.

•Missing reveal date
•No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity70/100

The project description is highly detailed and unambiguous, clearly outlining the scope, location, and key challenges. The AI-extracted requirements are also clear and specific. Nevertheless, the critical omission of explicit evaluation criteria severely diminishes the overall clarity for potential bidders regarding how their proposals will be assessed.

•No evaluation criteria specified
Completeness70/100

The tender provides essential information such as title, reference, organization, estimated value, duration, and location. All four associated documents are available. While requirements are outlined, the explicit absence of evaluation criteria is a significant deficiency, preventing a comprehensive understanding of the tender process.

•No evaluation criteria specified
Fairness65/100

The tender provides full document access and discloses the estimated value, and the technical requirements, while specific, do not appear tailored to a particular company. However, the lack of specified evaluation criteria creates a significant transparency issue, hindering fair competition. Additionally, the absence of electronic submission capabilities (e-submission) presents a practical barrier to equal access for all potential bidders.

•No evaluation criteria specified
•No e-submission
Practicality60/100

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified, and financing information is available. However, the absence of electronic submission (e-submission) is a major practical drawback in modern procurement, potentially complicating the bidding process for interested parties.

•No e-submission
Data Consistency80/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical and consistent. There are no reported suspensions or disputes. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field and missing codes for the 'Type' and 'Procedure' fields, along with the absence of a reveal date.

•Missing reveal date
•Liable Person empty
Sustainability30/100

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus. Furthermore, it is not indicated as EU-funded, which often correlates with higher sustainability standards.

•Not green procurement
•No social criteria
