Sustainable and Active Travel Behaviour Change App and Associated Support Services

This tender demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability and social value but is significantly hampered by highly restrictive eligibility criteria and a lack of detailed evaluation transparency.

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV codes, and there are no reported disputes. While mandatory exclusion grounds are not explicitly detailed in the AI summary, the overall structure appears compliant with national below-threshold procurement rules.

The project description is clear, and the overall evaluation weighting (60% quality, 40% price) is stated. However, the tender lacks detailed sub-criteria for quality evaluation and specific performance conditions, which reduces overall clarity for bidders.

All essential basic information, including title, reference, organization, value, deadlines, and duration, is provided. Documents are available. The primary gap is the absence of comprehensive, detailed evaluation criteria.

The mandatory eligibility requirement for bidders to be both a Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) AND a Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) is highly restrictive. This significantly limits competition and raises serious concerns about fairness and potential tailoring. Furthermore, the lack of detailed quality evaluation criteria reduces transparency in the assessment process.

Electronic submission via the ProContract platform is supported, and key dates (contract start, duration) are clearly specified. The estimated value is disclosed. A direct document URL was not explicitly provided in the summary, but access via the platform is implied.

Key fields are consistently populated, and dates are logical. There are no reported disputes or suspensions. Minor inconsistencies exist between automated check results (e.g., e-submission, evaluation criteria) and AI-extracted requirements, but the latter provides more specific detail.

The tender scores highly on sustainability due to its core objective of promoting 'Sustainable and Active Travel Behaviour Change'. The mandatory eligibility for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) also demonstrates a strong focus on social aspects.
