Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear project description but suffers from critical omissions in documentation and evaluation criteria, alongside highly restrictive technical requirements that severely limit competition.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

Significant gaps exist due to the absence of explicitly stated mandatory exclusion grounds and eligibility requirements, which are fundamental for a legally sound procurement process.

No specific mandatory exclusion grounds explicitly stated.
No specific eligibility requirements explicitly stated.
Clarity40/100

The project description and technical requirements for case studies are clear. However, the overall clarity of the procurement process is severely hampered by the lack of tender documents and evaluation criteria.

Lack of comprehensive tender documents.
Missing evaluation criteria.
Completeness83/100

The tender is critically incomplete. The absence of any tender documents, explicit financial requirements, and detailed evaluation criteria makes it impossible for bidders to prepare a comprehensive and compliant submission.

No documents attached or content available.
No specific financial requirements explicitly stated.
Fairness60/100

The fairness of this tender is highly questionable. The technical capability requirements, specifically the mandate for all four case studies to be UK-based and at least one with MHRA MS Licence experience, are unduly restrictive and strongly suggest tailoring to a very limited pool of suppliers, potentially hindering open competition.

Highly restrictive technical requirements (all case studies UK-based, specific MHRA MS Licence experience) suggesting potential tailoring and limiting competition.
Practicality40/100

The practicality for bidders is extremely low. Without any tender documents, evaluation criteria, or detailed financial requirements, bidders cannot practically understand the full scope, terms, or assessment methodology, making a meaningful bid submission impossible.

Lack of tender documents makes bid preparation impractical.
Data Consistency100/100

No inconsistencies were detected within the provided tender information.

Sustainability25/100

No sustainability (green or social) criteria are mentioned, indicating a missed opportunity to incorporate broader public value considerations into the procurement.

Not green procurement.
No social criteria.

Strengths

Clear and specific project description.
Innovation focus identified.
Estimated value and contract duration provided.
Relevant CPV code provided.

Concerns

Absence of any tender documents (critical flaw).
Missing explicit mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds.
Lack of explicit financial requirements and evaluation criteria.
Highly restrictive technical requirements (UK-only case studies, specific MHRA licence experience) suggesting potential tailoring and limiting competition.
No mention of sustainability or social criteria.

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish comprehensive tender documents, including detailed specifications, terms, conditions, and all evaluation criteria.
2. Review and revise technical capability requirements to ensure they are proportionate, non-discriminatory, and allow for broader competition, potentially accepting equivalent international experience or regulatory approvals.
3. Clearly state all mandatory exclusion and eligibility grounds, as well as financial requirements, in line with public procurement regulations.
