London Wall Car Park Phase 2 – Pipe Subway Tunnel & Waterproofing Works

This tender outlines a clear scope for essential infrastructure works under an open competition, but its quality is severely hampered by the complete absence of tender documents and evaluation criteria, posing significant risks to fairness and transparency.

The tender lacks explicit mention of mandatory exclusion grounds, which are typically statutory requirements in public procurement, raising a legal compliance concern.

The summary of main requirements and extracted capabilities are generally clear in their intent. However, the absence of full tender documents means specific technical requirements and standards remain undefined.

This tender is critically incomplete due to the total absence of tender documents, detailed specifications, and crucially, evaluation criteria. This prevents bidders from preparing comprehensive and informed proposals.

The lack of explicit evaluation criteria creates a significant risk of subjective assessment and undermines the fairness and transparency of the procurement process. Vague 'capability' requirements without defined metrics also contribute to this concern.

The 3-month contract duration for complex works, including a 12-week road closure and traffic management in a major city, presents a highly demanding schedule that could limit competition to a very specific pool of contractors.

The provided information appears internally consistent.

The tender does not indicate any focus on green procurement, social criteria, or innovation, representing a missed opportunity for broader public value.
