Tender Quality Score

This tender outlines a significant extra care scheme project but suffers from a critical lack of detailed documentation and evaluation criteria, which severely hinders comprehensive bidder understanding and fair competition.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance100/100

The tender appears to follow a standard open procedure and specifies basic eligibility requirements. However, the absence of full tender documents is a significant concern for ensuring complete legal compliance and transparency throughout the procurement process.

Absence of full tender documents for legal review and bidder understanding
Clarity40/100

The project description is clear regarding the scope (60-apartment extra care scheme) and the required role (build, own, manage). However, the detailed technical specifications, specific standards, and contractual terms are entirely missing, making it difficult for bidders to understand the precise requirements.

Lack of detailed technical specifications and design requirements
Absence of contractual terms and conditions
Completeness83/100

This tender is critically incomplete due to the complete absence of any attached documents. Essential information such as detailed specifications, evaluation criteria, award criteria, specific submission forms, and full terms and conditions are missing, as highlighted by the automated checks.

No tender documents attached
Missing detailed evaluation and award criteria
Fairness60/100

While the eligibility requirements (Registered Provider, Regulator of Social Housing) are standard for such schemes, the complete absence of clear evaluation criteria and detailed requirements compromises the fairness of the process. Without transparent criteria, the awarding authority retains excessive discretion, potentially leading to subjective assessments.

Absence of clear evaluation criteria compromises fairness and transparency
Potential for subjective assessment due to lack of detailed requirements
Practicality40/100

From a bidder's perspective, it is highly impractical to prepare a comprehensive and competitive bid for a €16.5M project without any tender documents, detailed specifications, or explicit evaluation criteria. The minimal submission requirements are insufficient without the necessary background information.

Impractical for bidders to prepare a quality submission without detailed tender documents
Lack of specific guidance on how to demonstrate required capabilities effectively
Data Consistency100/100

The provided basic information and extracted requirements are internally consistent. The estimated value aligns with the project description.

Sustainability0/100

No information regarding environmental, social, or governance (ESG) sustainability criteria is provided. The automated check also flags the absence of green procurement and social criteria, representing a missed opportunity for a project of this nature and scale.

Absence of environmental sustainability requirements
Lack of social value or community benefit criteria

Strengths

Clear project description and scope (60-apartment extra care scheme)
Estimated value disclosed, indicating project scale
Specific CPV code provided for classification
Open procedure promotes broad competition (in principle)
Clear eligibility requirements for Registered Providers

Concerns

Critical absence of all tender documents
Missing detailed evaluation and award criteria
Lack of specific technical specifications and design standards
No information on contractual terms and conditions
Absence of sustainability or social value considerations

Recommendations

1. Immediately publish all comprehensive tender documents, including detailed specifications, evaluation criteria, and contractual terms.
