Construction of a cemetery extension - Bracknell Forest Council

This tender for cemetery extension works has a clear project description and reasonable timeline but suffers from significant deficiencies in completeness, clarity, and fairness due to missing critical documents and evaluation criteria. The lack of e-submission and data inconsistencies further detract from its overall quality.

The tender defines the procedure type and assigns a relevant CPV code. Deadlines are reasonable, and there are no disputes. However, the absence of specific legal clauses for mandatory exclusion grounds and the inclusion of an irrelevant document slightly detract from full compliance.

The project description is clear, and AI-extracted requirements are understandable. However, the critical 'specification' document, repeatedly referenced, is not provided, and evaluation criteria are explicitly missing, severely impacting clarity for bidders.

Basic information like title, reference, organization, value, and duration are present. However, crucial documents such as the detailed specification and explicit evaluation criteria are absent. An irrelevant document is also included, indicating poor document management.

The lack of explicit evaluation criteria and the absence of the detailed specification document severely compromise transparency and objectivity, making it difficult for bidders to prepare competitive proposals. The absence of e-submission also creates an unnecessary barrier.

Contract duration and start date are clear. However, the absence of electronic submission support is a significant practical drawback, increasing administrative burden for bidders.

The tender lacks consistency with a discrepancy between the estimated value in the main financial section (€600,000) and the official PDF summary (£500,000). The inclusion of an entirely irrelevant document also points to poor data management.

The tender does not include any explicit requirements or considerations for green procurement, social aspects, or innovation, nor is it EU funded, indicating a lack of focus on sustainability.
