VCSE - Mental Health Crisis Prevention and Outreach Service LOT 1

This tender for a Mental Health Crisis Prevention and Outreach Service provides a clear service description and basic information, but suffers from a critical lack of detailed evaluation criteria and the absence of electronic submission, impacting fairness and practicality.

The tender defines the procedure type and CPV code correctly, and no disputes are reported. Deadlines are reasonable. However, the 'Missing reveal date' and the summary's lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds are minor compliance gaps.

The service description and technical capability requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the critical absence of detailed evaluation criteria, beyond high-level weightings (80% quality, 20% commercial), significantly reduces the clarity for bidders.

Basic information such as title, reference, organization, value, duration, and location are provided. Documents are listed. However, the tender is incomplete due to the absence of detailed evaluation criteria and the lack of explicit mandatory exclusion grounds in the summary.

The estimated value is disclosed, and the VCSE eligibility requirement is specific but fair for the service type. However, the lack of detailed evaluation criteria severely compromises transparency and objectivity. The absence of e-submission also creates a barrier to equal access for potential bidders.

The contract start date and duration are clearly specified. However, the lack of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback in modern procurement. A direct document URL is not explicitly provided, which could hinder easy access to full tender documents.

The core data fields are largely consistent, with logical dates and no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies include an empty 'Liable Person' field and a missing code for the 'Type: Open' procedure.

While the service itself addresses a social need, the tender documentation does not explicitly incorporate broader sustainability criteria such as green procurement, additional social clauses for the supplier, or innovation focus. It is also not EU funded.
