Heart of Horton - Park Activator

This tender presents significant concerns regarding fairness and legal compliance due to a direct contradiction between its 'Open' procedure type and an eligibility requirement for 'invited' consultants, alongside a critical absence of specified evaluation criteria.

The tender's classification as an 'Open' procedure is directly contradicted by the eligibility requirement stating bidders must be 'invited,' which is a severe legal inconsistency. The absence of specified evaluation criteria is also a significant legal compliance issue, undermining transparency and fair competition.

While the project description is clear, the overall clarity of the procurement process is severely hampered by the lack of specified evaluation criteria and the contradictory eligibility requirement. Many details are deferred to the full tender pack, making the summary incomplete.

The tender provides basic information, value, and duration. However, it critically lacks specified evaluation criteria and detailed financial requirements in the summary. The failure to download one of the listed documents also impacts completeness.

The requirement for bidders to be 'invited' despite the procedure being 'Open' is a critical fairness concern, strongly suggesting potential tailoring or a restricted competition disguised as open. The absence of objective evaluation criteria further compromises transparency and equal opportunity.

The tender provides essential practical details like contract start and duration. However, the lack of electronic submission support is a notable practical drawback in modern procurement.

The tender generally exhibits good data consistency with logical dates and no disputes. Minor inconsistencies include missing codes for the procedure type and an empty 'Liable Person' field.

The tender does not explicitly incorporate any green procurement, social aspects, or innovation focus, which is common for smaller, below-threshold contracts but represents a missed opportunity for broader impact.
